Default Buggy Plugin Compatibility Mode

i'm not really clear on what this is.. how it is slower ? and what follows "bad" in the description?

The cut-off word is "noises."

Buggy compatibility mode does a number of things that can all cause minor increased CPU use: buffers are zeroed out before being given to the plugin, extra samples are rendered at loop edges, blocking behavior is used when opening the GUI while rendering audio (the plugin is assumed not to be threadsafe), and a few other safety measures. None of this adds a tremendous amount of CPU, but it does add a bit.

ah bad noises, thanks schwa; i know what you mean, straight out buffer dumps, and in one daw, occasional clicks in the first note played
on some vst instruments. (i'm only guessing that this could be the cause of that). indeed these artifacts been absent for me in reaper, and
i surely don't miss them the context menu option is what piqued my interest, so i'll be experimenting one of these days...
