Subject: Patch banks
One concern I have about multiple banks:
Windows is already mightily slowed down in startup by the GUS driver, apparently
reading through the config file to set up its patch/file correspondences. If we
have 1024 banks, I don't think I can wait long enough!
I hope Gravis will consider this in their new drivers. In fact, I hope they
will look for a way to speed up the startup with only a single bank. I'm still
not clear why the disk cache doesn't work better to solving this.
