Yeah, denormals.I own a moderately old (2003) Dell notebook that sports
a "Pentium 4 mobile" (don't know how that's wired) and ran into the
issue doing some mixing and mastering in ardour. A lot of plugins were
effected, even some of Steve's.

tried it first. But I do have a feeling I'll try it next.
