Here is the screen capture of the Marcus Leech version of the two FM

With a samplerate of 2.4M it uses about 60% of the 4 core I5 I am
using for this project
If anybody wants the grc pm me.
The other email contains the Zans version of stereo demod.
Your taps for the freq-xlating filters aren't properly specified. They
must be the output of one of the taps-generator
functions--use the Low Pass Filter Taps block.
Further, your desired parameters will lead to a very large filter.
This is mostly controlled by the transition width parameter,
and as that parameter becomes a smaller fraction of the sample-rate,
the filter grows non-linearly. Consider a
"lazier" transition width, and use an FFT filter instead--the FFT
filter structure is more efficient once you have more
than perhaps 30-50 taps.
I haven't touched the "wfm_stuff" code in a long long time, so no
guarantees about anything--including performance.
