Analog won't directly make use of a second CPU, but having more than one
allows Analog to get all of one CPU while everything else gets to use the
other one. The benefit you see will depend on how many other things the
machine is doing. You can get some idea of this with 'top'. If Analog is
already using 90+% of the CPU you won't see much improvement.
Adding memory either doesn't help at all or helps very dramatically. If
Analog is currently causing the system to swap VM to disk, adding memory
will make a dramatic improvement. If you are not swapping, adding memory
won't help.
Good Luck

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
