parametric eq.
This should lower cpu-usage quite a lot. And if your audio signal needs a
31-
band or a free-hand-drawn equalizer, you are better off with fixing the
mix or
using freqtweak, I think.
This would only output a stereo signal and the compressor expects three
stereo signals. So you would have to either seperate the stereo signal
after the eq with a filter or run a copy of the signal to each band of the
compressor which might increase load but will certainly increase the
chance of artifacts on the final post compressor output.
According to the image showing Jamins signal paths
http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/routes.html
the stereo signal coming from the eq currently *is* seperated by a
filter/crossover before feeding the compressor stages.
Thus it should be possible to replace the eq without further changes.
But - I'm no expert on jamins internals, so this could be inaccurate.
