[ardour-users] disk to slow when running plugins

[Mark Knecht]

Hi Peter,
   I guess this seems sort of obvious, but have you looked at CPU
usage when you are running all these tracks and all your plugins? Look
at CPU usage in ajackctl or just open a terminal and run top. What do
you see?

   I suspect that you're running out of CPU.
