yes, I’ve been searching the websites and it seems that multiple instances of a plugin can be spread across the threads, but I’m trying to avoid the situation when I choose plugins for lower CPU rather then thinking about the sound.
VST guard helps in realtime processing on multicore systems and prevent from cpu spikes and audio dropouts and it works very well - I love this feature.
There is one interesting thing to investigate - intel turbo boost 3.0 - if I understand ths correctly - it speeds up the most used core for selected application - looks like a good solution, will report back after testing.
