As for Sky, I haven't tried it much yet. The amount of CPU it takes is no problem for me (even if it were double the current amount), since it's only going to be used in a single instance on the master.
Well, those plugins are intended for final mastering, but in making some rapid changes to the controls, it was using so much CPU that the audio started glitching, but settled down after I quit tweaking.

That said, when I started making the Sun rise in that plugin, a really nice edge started happening that was not like just adding high frequency EQ. I don't know what the algorithm is that's being used, but it caught my ear right away.
