That's why I expect it to be quick running Csound...
You're definitely right that you can't compare a CPU and
a DSP in a benchmark way, but you may compare them run-
ning an identical csound instrument. To run a SHARC board
you need a CPU anyway, so I don't expect SHARC to replace
"stand-alone" csound at any time. Just wanted to have a
hint about the performance (can't buy the stuff anyway).
