Without downsampling it use (well, 4xtimes more then now) 8% dsp load. 
Most costs in the original source comes from that used values are not 
pre-calculated.
But indeed, the reason for downsampling is that the limited frequency 
range makes it sound good, and for guitar/bass 3kHz are far more then 
enough when you would add a octave up/down to the original sound.
