Though it comes at the cost of audio lag/latency increase when we are trying to achieve near real time (eg live guitar input to sound effect generation output). Even on the my machine (4x core amd 3Ghz), the calculations the app performs for difficult presets (convolution) can cause jack to abort because rakarrack didn't finish it's calculations before it was required to deliver data. Should I be suggesting to upstream to attempt to detect CPU before running non-available instructions, eg as part of app startup ? Can that even be done (reliably) ?
