| I just tried Gabriel Maldonado's Csound for Win95 on my Pentium Pro
180 MHz machine. I did not do exact timings for the usual
benchmarks, since there is an extra time involved in me hitting
"OK" to the information window which pops up every time. (I did use
the -y flag to make it exit without requiring a key-press.)
The one result which best measures the speed of the program is the
time it takes to do the 60 second Xanadu piece. Gabriel's version
1.7 program, which he compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0, took
165.71 seconds.
By comparison, as reported in my post on 22 April, my DJGPP version
took 173.62 seconds.
This indicates that Gabriel's version is about 5% faster.
Further reports when I get into compiling Csound under Linux with
the latest version of the GCC compiler.

Thanks for the information. Could you be so gentle to try the poliphony
in realtime with your machine? In the 1.7 version is included files
miditest.orc and miditest.sco.
Please Try this simple instr with ar=44100 and kr=441, and then with ar
=40000 and kr=400 (-e flag must be actived for allowing non-standard ar
and -P99 if you want use midi sustain pedal)
holding down the sustain pedal and playing notes once a time with my
master-keyboard, I achieved the following realtime performace before
incurring in dropouts with my P133:
at sr=40000 and kr=400 I achieved 50 oscili or 90 oscil polyphony
at sr=32000 and kr=320 I achieved 64 oscili or 126 oscil polyphony
at sr=16000 and kr=160 I achieved 144 oscili or 280 oscil polyphony
I'm curious to know how PPro behaves!
Thank you
bye and happy csounding!
