Have you ever tried it ? Look at the output of <your favourite CPU load
monitor> while using Ardour ?

I had Ardour running for most of this afternoon, a session with 14 tracks
and 33 channels in total (some tracks are 6-ch, as is the output, can
Traverso do this ?). CPU load around 7% on my 1.7G laptop. 

There is bloatware on Linux, but I don't think Ardour is part of that,
even if it has many features that I never use.
