@scztt, thanks for your detailled answer! I always had an eye on peaks too, but the p/a ratio seemed to be pretty the same on the two machines. However, as said, I will do some benchmarking with different synths as you suggested in (1).
Ad (2), maybe this is more efficient on Linux, as reported in the parallel thread. At least, it had some impact on OSX too.
Ad (4), when working with Patterns in realtime this is hardly feasible. It’s not only about latency, accuracy gets worse ( https://scsynth.org/t/imperfection-of-language-based-timing ). The clock calibration leads to larger deviations (I have not included this in my post then, but did run such tests that had this effect). However, concerning CPU usage it’s a point I haven’t considered – will check. When not working with Patterns it would definitely make sense.
