there is a limit. For the usual stuff (for example WORD , EXCEL, etc...) a
PIII 1Ghz is enough to do the job (and computer sales decrease in this
domain year after year)... In the Audio , there will be a limit also but
already a dual P4 2Ghz is enough to make a 32 tracks with 8 AUX effect and a
complete strip processing on each track (all at 96 Khz). If in 1% of the
case , a plug-in needs an awesome power, it will implement the knob itself.
Don't ask me to think about a knob that will be used by 0.0001% of the
users, and that will be in the future completely useless.
