JJC is right, we need to profile it. I can test this with the Intel
VTune Amplifier. Which SF3 to use? Is the MuseScore_General.sf3 (38MB) a

Hi Marcus, thanks for considering my idea. As you guessed, I'm usin
We use SF3 files for some years now due to the reasons Marcus outlined below
and where faced with the same problem of long loading times. As a solution
SF3 soundfonts are loaded in the background where the app is already up and
ready for the user but the sound subsystem is not yet ready.

Loading an SF2 file is really *much!* faster than loading
Vorbis-encoded SF3 files. The SF2 loader grabs all samp
