Also re the GC thing... the reason I am interested in is that Bill Schottstaedt, the author of s7, was not focusing on soft-realtime in the design of s7. His principal use was in Snd, his non-realtime Scheme based audio editor system. So while s7 is fast, there is (possibly) some low hanging fruit for making it perform better in the soft-realtime context of Max for Live, for example. It could well turn out to be either too hard or a dead end, but hey, that PhDs are for. :-)
