Please to explain how this is so?? I thought park only parked the heads at
shutdown. I've run with "park on" for literally years, and the only time I
ever hear the heads restore is if I do a shutdown or haltsys. Unless by
hindering performance you mean shutdown or haltsys takes just a tad longer
I'm afraid I can't follow your logic.
