[Dream] cpu usage

[supergroover]

i mean comparing two vsts with the same sounds and fx etc vs 1 (same) vst
with those same sounds (from a capable vst of course).
a) one vst named x is doing sound 1 and 2
b) vst named x is doing sound 1   & vst named x is doing sound 2

which set up uses more?
havent had a change to do your test yet.. i ll get to that this weekend i
hope.
=)
