Well, if it works I don't see what problem there could be.

SFP is much more 'intelligent' when it comes to DSP load shedding, DSP can remain safely in the red band. What I really like is when you try to overload: SFP ask if you want to continue and re-arrange DSP load or cancel adding the device. If you cancel, the device shows in the project and can be deleted. ASIO drivers remain stable,no harm is done. Remember the old days, when we had to reload DSP twice: once to try and re-arrange, and a 2nd time after deleting the device cos it did not work. In the meanwhile our ASIO sequencer crashed and on 98 we had to reboot to run Pulsar OS again -if there wasn't a fatal error on the pc.
The occasional SFP crash (ie. on loading a faulty device) is nowadays precedented by a warning. It allows to safely shut down the ASIO sequencer and close SFP. After that, just restart SFP and sequencer. 2 minutes and you're running again. About once a week I have to close SFP like that, using it every day quite intensively. That's doable

Guess you can't stop technology

...WHEN I WORK WITH ABOUT 80%DSP LOAD AND MY CPU AT ABOUT 70% I HAVE GRAPHIC TROUBLES ON THE PULSAR SCREEN.(I WORK WITH TWO SCREENS WITH MATROX G450).EVERY TIME I EDIT SOMETHING IN PULSAR AREA AS VOLUME OR EQ OR WHEN I OPEN DEVICE SURFACES, GRAPHIC TAKES ME LOTS SECONDS. COULD IT BE NORMAL?
