The DOT is attached. At max load, the only CPU being stressed more than
5% is running just one of the Yoshimi processes, one taking high ranges
in patch SRO; this one CPU is kept at a steady 14% when SRO is sounding
with maximum notes. There is no very significant CPU stress, just
maxing-out of JACK DSP.
