I am guessing what caused this is that you had an old portmidi-218.zip (or
whatever it is called). I think I will rename it to 218.1 or something so
that gub will rebuild it (hopefully). I suppose I should not updated these
files and call them the same name.

Yes. It is near native speed. In most systems I don't think the difference
