My interest, also, is non-real-time. I have never given a live performance 
of computer music, and I probably never will.

However, I _have_ found that a community of musicians focused on the _same_ 
software is quite important! This is what has created such depth in the 
Csound world. For this reason, I find that it is important to support 
performance and capabilities for live performance.

Regards,
Mike
