keep in mind this is a 3-4 year old laptop. and it's on par with newer g4 power books. I'm somewhat impressed. why are mac's so slow?

Live isn't optimized to run on osX, altivec or something like that. Things I don't really understand. I do understand that I am very happy with my machine though!

- with outputs 1/2 and s/pdif input enabled only
test 1 : 1%
test 2 : 5%
- with all 26 inputs and outputs enabled :
test 1 : 4%
test 2 : 8%
so it seems the asio driver roughly eats 3% cpu max at full throttle
(i tried on my dual 800 g4 and it ate 40% of one cpu !!!)

With the exception of Matthew Dear, I think all the artists at this weekend's Once Twice festival in Baltimore used Macs or turntables for the sound and video they created. Fair number of people involved, too.
Just saying--

PS. BTW, the festival rocked.

Mac do look great in my opinion. But it's just a machine... remember?
I like both Fenders and Gibsons...
