But... REAPER's a Windows program, it's REAPER I like, not Windows. I don't yet see the compelling reason to slow REAPER's performance...

Hi Mike
REAPER with wineasio acts nearly like a native Linux app. The performance is really good, stable and usable in all day music production. Since wineasio I NEVER BOOT UP WINDOWS AGAIN. I only need my windows installation to copy some system32 -dll to my wine fake windows if a program need them. I've tested REAPER/wineasio with all NI plugins, some FXpansion plugs and a lot of freeware plugins. It ROCKS in most cases. REAPER with WINEASIO works much better then Rosegarden and MusE (native Linux sequencers with vst wrapper support)
I'm really happy with REAPER in this (not a) emulation - A native Linux version means, that a lot of VST plugs not usable. Native Linux VST is much too young, there a now around 100 plugs, but the "big ones" have no motivation to port them.
CU!
