I don't know how fast it *actually* is, but FWIW, my old Behringer
compressor/limiter has a lowest attack setting of 0.1 ms, and a
lowest release setting of 50 ms.

That is what, 90 microseconds at 44.1 kHz? I don't think there are
any analog compressors that react anywhere near that fast. Don't
worry about it :-) The SC* plugins do the same as TAP (calculate the
gain every 4
samples),
but I interpolate the gain values between each computation. The
attch/deacay times were slow enough in my testing that it was OK
to do
that.
It should be OK for all practical attack/release times. The only
penalty is 3 samples of delay on the gain change and maybe that's
to be avoided for a hard limiter. For a normal compressor it
should not matter.
