That is awesome, thanks for doing that.
Having worked for software firms in the past, and, being a power computer(s) user for decades, I can tell REAPER is so well coded that going up in versions (4, 5, etc) is smoother on the cpu than many other software. Also many articles speak of v5+ having 'performance improvements' so the answers here make sense.
Thanks again.

I used an old test project with a couple of VSTi and guitar tracks and it plays (or stutters when I enable the mental alpha development plug-ins on the master section) just the same on both versions, maxing out the CPU the same way...  |
