Ted:

It surprises me to have this particular machine referred to as "low-spec 
hardware", though compared to most new machines, it could be considered 
that.

It's 32-bit i386, a Dell Dimension DX-1100, with a 2.5 gigahertz 
processor (single processor), with 1 gigabytes of RAM.

I have (in the past) successfully recorded MIDI with Rosegarden using a 
450 megahertz machine (which I still use, and can run tests on, if you 
wish).  Just don't ask me to build Rosegarden on that particular machine!

That particular machine (450 megahertz) successfully runs Qsynth and the 
Java Sound Synthesizer.

So, it seems surprising that a 2.5 gigahertz machine would be considered 
low-spec.

Yet, as I think about it, it was running Ubuntu 12.04 Unity desktop, and 
that will make any machine a low-spec machine.  I used that partition 
for both generating Rosegarden and doing the test recording.

I use Lubuntu now for most everything, on all of my machines, as well as 
UbuntuStudio, which I recommend for my users.  The same machine running 
Lubuntu is visibly faster than Ubuntu/Unity-desktop.
