I never said Zyn ran without a hiccup or two, I guess I just have a lot more patience since I run slower/older hardware. It depends on how much I do at once really, I usually record each track out separately to avoid all that. Occasionally I have Zyn lock up the entire computer if I hit too many notes at once or use the sustain pedal too much. Other than that I have a lot of stuck notes, but I usually just flow with them until I have the timing right to hit the panic button, lol! I just adhere to the KISS policy, Keep It Simple Stupid.

Pure Data has always performed well for me on lower end hardware and i've never run anything but Debian pre-compiled kernels with no pre-empt stuff. Of course, it depends what you're doing, but definately for a couple of oscillators doing simple subtractive/additive synthesis it works beautifully on slower machines. Not sure about 100MHz though! Started using it on a 500MHz machine, so that is definately ok.
