Context switch time is part of real-world results. host-induced cache misses is real, but maybe it is reasonable to assume that is minimal when doing processing? RAM/system issues may mitigate usefulness across systems, but on any given system, you'll get a feeling for what the effects of in-place vs not and for how many 'average' plugins you can support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
