doing anything with the eeprom is considerably slower than doing it mathematically. If i remember back to the CODEX meeting correctly you told us all how you reduced something to 85% of it original value with the eeprom. try saying x=x*17/20. or, if you want to do it only if it is below 127, try x = x/127*127*17/20+(127/x max 1 *x)

do the math, not the eep
