VST-per-server implementation might not, but there's no very
compelling reason not to have multiple VSTs in a single server serving
multiple clients. That would be less reliable than a dssi-vst type
service can be, but no less reliable than fst, and it should scale
nearly as well. It's been on my todo list for ages...
i still don't think that scales. the cache might still be warm, since
the server is repeatedly invoked, but its still 2 context switches
per-plugin invocation
DSSI has a mechanism for coalescing these (which is what I was thinking of)
but of course it's for synths only, and makes no sense (in the host) for
effects.
