Personally I think it's a good thing that ChucK has no inherent idea of what voice assignment and cycling mean as that means we get to figure out what we need in our specific situation. The developers can't foresee what any individual programmer might want or need (I'm quite certain they are already very aware of that...)
I have checked a bit with 'top -uR' what happens: Each new key, which initiates a sound generator, adds in CPU power after being allowed to settle down and not producing sound anymore about as much as 3 times when as full program at startup time. So there is a quick buildup of from these idle generators. Such a resource consuming problem might be fixed if each sound generator could turn itself to sleep. Say there is a cutoff-level, or something. Hans
