basically, yes. I never had problems with continual stutter with
1.5+GHz machines. scratchy noises when moving the mouse over the GUI,
yes. but I just built a new system, 2x3.0GHz, and I'm running lmms on
aucat with 2x512 frame blocks (though telling lmms itself to use 128
frame blocks), and I have no scratchiness unless I'm actually twisting
a knob while sounds are playing, which is probably expected. played
the keyboard with that setup for a couple hours last night.
