Not huge sessions, using
Mint 18 with i7 cpu, 4 cores 8 threads @ 3.4 ghz
wine-staging 4.5
kernel 4.4.0-21-generic, based solely on qjackctl's
reported cpu use in it's gui,
while playing frenetically, with/without sustain pedal etc
The numbers are based on a peak seen at least twice, while
the normal rate was 2% to 4% lower
linux Reaper with six U-he linux ACE 1.4 default sound cpu = 30%
windows Reaper with six U-he windows ACE 1.4 default sound cpu = 24%
----------------------------------------------------------------
linux Reaper with three U-he linux ZebraHZ vst3 default sound cpu = 40%
windows Reaper with three U-he windows ZebraHZ vst3 default sound cpu = 36%
(ACE has not been updated recently, ZebraHZ has been, so the
comparative uniformity of the differences in cpu use,
might be due to the OS more than the plugins and vst host.
Also, the kernel used is old and generic, most of you will
get much better overall results.
Also, the linux ports are primarily a one-man-show,
and appear to be competitive with the full mac/win team efforts.
Great work done by Alexander Bique!!!
And also Justin has provided a great linux daw
in such a short timeframe!!!
