Standalone version outperforms LV2 plugin big time #59

Open grammoboy2 opened 4 years ago

grammoboy2 commented 4 years ago

When doing a bit of stresstesting, sending lots of midi notes from supercollider (800bpm, why not :) ) into 3 parts in Zynaddsubfx, the standalone version gives me 0 xruns, where the LV2 plugin goes over >5000 xruns. Very high DSP load in both Carla and Jalv.

Zyn-fusion build from git. Debian Testing (well performing system).

Buffer size is the obvious source of performance differences. The plugin uses an internal buffer size of 32 samples, while the standalone uses either, a default value, a user specified value, or in the case of backends like jack the jack frame size.

I would expect the same behavior can be observed in the standalone by setting the internal buffer size to 32.
