These tests are just for reference for new users or new systems, not so much for us Mac guys to have ammo for bitching about altivec enhancement. (hint/hint)
*Note the second test is no longer bar 17 do to the arrangement demo change

Test 3: Open the Live 2 Demo Arrangement.als, what is your CPU level at with the transport stopped (i.e. the arrangement is not playing)

Test 4: Play the Live Demo Arrangement, what is your CPU level at when bar 42 comes in (i.e. after pressing play and when it hits the part of the song were most of the tracks come in- bar 42)

note: I hope people are being "honest". It does not help anyone to intentially skew your results one way or the other.

btw, that 'Guest' above with the 2%/8% readings was me. After the 42nd bar, the usage fluctuates between 8% and 11% during the most active parts of the song. It's a bit of a shock to me since I'm currently having problems with my pc, even though I just reformatted and reinstalled everything into a dual-boot with a music-only partition, which has nothing but music apps with all XP whistles turned off.
