Yes. This is something that is starting to be discussed again on the
iiwusynth list, and is also my only gripe about it. Its gotten better
though, a lot of it has to do with figuring out when voices have become
perceptibly silent so they can be turned off or re-assigned. I'm not
really doing much work on iiwusynth directly, since I've been pretty
busy with Swami but I do manage to keep up on their discussions though.
I think the synth sounds so good though that it somewhat out weighs the
CPU consumption :) I'm certain it will get speedier though (like I said,
it already has).
