Hmm.  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  The slop in the reassembley
program is about a minute, which is fine. (so I'm guessing I don't need to
be sample-precise).  The people downloading the reassembled files can load
it into an editor (once I can figure out how to fix the headers).

How can I de-complexify it?

I'm getting that impression :-)
