I'm really not sure, but I will find out and eventually test it, unless
someone on LD beats me to it. I think you are right, however, based on what
the processor is designed to do.  I'll get back to you in a few days.

It seems like you have to run two or more applications simultaneously
to see the big speed improvements. I wonder if a VST host and VSTs
count as separate applications? My guess is no. I think you would see
a dramatic improvement if you are using two music applications with
something like ReWire.
