Unless EQ is specifically written to take advanatage of dual
processor systems, she is running EQ at the same speed as a
single P200 system. The other processor is sitting idle.
What resolutions are you two running at? Also try turning

the ability to hear something sneaking up on you.

On another related note, has anyone else noticed that if
you're playing Accelerando on a drum and you zone, when you
come out the other side you default to Accelerando-w/o-drum
speed?
