I'm not sure in which situation it hogs the CPU on

But, in general, it might be because of the sample interpolation.
The recent timidity uses an expensive method (gaussian). When many
voices are used, it costs high CPU power.
Using a cheaper one like the linear interpolation (either -N0 or
-Efresamp=l) will help in such a case.
I'll try it and see how it works over time. I'm using TiMidity 2.11.3,
it's all right when I start using it, but if I leave it running
eventually the CPU usage climbs to a very high amount, sometimes close
to 90%, while idling.
Btw, I don't see the resamp option listed in 'timidity -h', perhaps I
need a newer version ? I'd like JACK support with TiMidity anyway, I
think the latest version now does, yes ?
Best,
