i don't have any precise cycle-consumption figures (a good reason to
try the polyphase filters one day) but i seem to remember having
figured that they come at equal or bigger cost for comparable stopband
attenuation. 

then, their peak at 2 - 3 kHz made me go with the current filters
because it is a characteristic of the circuitry i investigated, and it
comes for free. just seemed to fit so nicely, and i could use the
tools i know best.

though one day i'll try the polyphase design for some exact figures.

thanks, it's lovely to hear that from 'Mr LADSPA'. :))
