Performance optimization (no significal change in sound).
According to my measurements, the total CPU load of this version with everything enabled is a bit lower than that of version 7.03 when using 5 bands in the new multiband compressor, and equal or maybe very slightly higher when using 6. For 9 bands I now measure a 7-8% increase (was 24%).
Initial testing did reveal measurements similar to what you described. Unfortunately, more in-depth testing revealed an increase.
I took Cobalt, and removed declipper (I have to do that to even be able to play audio). I then changed from "Classic Multiband" to this new multiband. That was the "initial testing". CPU load as viewed by Task Manager stayed in the 70-80 range for both old and new.
Next, I also changed "Classic Singleband" to the new Singleband. Here's where the load increase began to happen. CPU load now fluxuates between 70 and 92-95!
Next, I also got rid of "Bass Boost" and started using the Equalizer. Load is again fluctuating between 72 and now 95-99!
