Argh, I hate gkrellm. It somehow does not show CPU usage correctly, this
had bitten me before. If I check again with "top", it isn't that bad. Just
running a simple patch with a simple sine oscillator voice, going through
barry-the-satan is also only 1-2% on my Athlon 900. And in the patch, I was
first talking about, in top it went up only about 3-10 percent, but that might
be due to the complexity of the patch and it is really hard to tell,
because CPU usage here varies quite a lot.
