I think this solution actually increases redundancy. It requires the host to
compute
time in various units that the plugin will never use. Nearly all plugins are
only going
to need one unit.
This can be a lot of excess computation if it is being done for time-stamps on
all Midi
and automation data in a large multi-track session.
