I'm curious about folks experience with CPU loads creeping up with subsequent firmware upgrades. How do you manage/mitigate this?
Basically my main preset (that I am really happy with) was constructed using previous firmware versions. When I first built it, it was pushing the edge of CPU limit (basically bounced around 77 to 80%). After a few upgrades it is now consistently over 80% and can go as high as 84%. It is still causing no problems, but I'm a little concerned that any additional upgrades that push CPU consumption up will push it over the edge and causing issues.
First, is this kind of thing a common occurrence and expected?
Second, is my concern about this thing "going over the edge" valid?
Lastly, what are some approaches to "refactor" presets after upgrades?
What is odd is that this isn't really a crazy preset. I do have a pitch block (I use it to get a little Scofield detune effect mostly). I think the biggest culprit is the two drive blocks. I stack them for my lead tone and I've played with getting rid of one, but lose a little of what I like.
Anyway, I'm interested in people's take on this.
