Pure Data has always performed well for me on lower end hardware and
i've never run anything but Debian pre-compiled kernels with no pre-empt
stuff. Of course, it depends what you're doing, but definately for a
couple of oscillators doing simple subtractive/additive synthesis it
works beautifully on slower machines. Not sure about 100MHz though!
Started using it on a 500MHz machine, so that is definately ok.
Chris.
