That's one thing I don't understand about softsynths nowadays.  
10 years ago I was using a program called Vaz that emulated a 
3-oscillator analog synth with portamento and ring mod and other 
nifty stuff, and ran without a hiccup on my 100MHz 486 box 
running Win95.  I know Zyn (like other modern softsynths) is 
capable of doing a lot more, but shouldn't it be able to do a 
monophonic two-oscillator synth on a P3 of any speed without 
hiccupping and without needing to install unofficial kernel 
patches and whatnot?

Tempting to try and find a copy of Vaz to see how it would 
perform under Wine.
