Problem

For a longer time I'm observing that LMMS is using quite a lot of resources
all the time, depending on the size of a project loaded even when no sound
is produced.

Straigth off when I load "unfa - Spoken" LMMS consumes 132 - 148 % of the
CPU (as displayed by htop). I'm using a 2-core (4 threads) Intel core i7
processor. That's quite a lot of processing being done that produce
absolutely nothing and is not supposed to exist.

Solution

My idea to help this situation is an* Instrument Usage Map*.

To put is simple: it's about keeping track of which instruments are playing
in which bars of the project. Then the program can use this information to
process only those instruments that will actually make a difference,
omitting the rest and assuming it's producing digital silence.

What say thou?

Let's talk about this.
