I'd expect those to be dominated by cache size and speeds rather than raw CPU speed. And if you have 16 independent effect chains, the thing to go for is to ensure they will execute in parallel on an SMP system (more or less the norm today). And that depends on software architecture and nothing else. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
