I believe that my biquad based filters (dj_eq_1901, lcr_delay_1436,
single_para_1203 and triple_para_1204) are denormal safe, if not I'd like
to know about it as it can be fixed.

If anyones looking for a quick project, a denormal tester* would be very
useful. Small denormal problems are hard to detect in testing on Athlon
and Pentium 3/M machines (all I use for devel and testing).

* run a few seconds worth of sinewave into plugin, measure min/avg/max cpu
  cost, run 0's in, repeat measurement, compare
