Apropos wasting resources. A lot of Linux audio

with an EQ by default for every added channel. Do you think each time
you add a new channel, they also add a copy of the same EQ routine to
the RAM or do you think one routine for the EQ is shared by all
channels, one after the other, but anyhow with different EQ setting?
The code will be shared, and for a typical channel strip EQ
it's peanuts anyway. Then there's per-instance data which
again for an normal EQ isn't anything to worry about.
It's the GUI that takes up most of the resources. Most
of the GUI code will be shared with other parts, but the
data won't.
