Just out of curiosity - I am really curious about the software they give
in the examples.  For instance - does the latency remain constant for
all values of compression/threshold/etc? 

If the latency varies at all, and they are using "parallel compression,"
what they are doing has nothing to do with compression, but is simply a
level-dependent chorus/doubling.
