i once did make measurements, and they showed that your assumption is correct. or at least, it showed that it *was* correct at that time. this was on a P2-400MHz in 1998 or so, where a 16 channel spatialization patch would eat about 95% of the CPU - regardless of whether you used a single huge patch or organized the code into subpatches/abstractions. eventually i went for using abstractions, and let the PC run at 95% for the 2 weeks show. those were the times. fgmasdr IOhannes
