unfortunately, oversampling takes quite a lot of cpu cycles. according to steve's recent post, he expects the current valve_1209.so plugin's cpu usage to rise linearly, 4x over = 4x cpu. luckily, the valve itself doesn't alias so much we'd have to go there for now. >Overdriving a tube stage too much gives you harsher clipping, not the >singing, sweet distortion we want.
