Has anyone started collecting benchmark data for performance of Diva on a given platform?

I've been pleasantly surprised that I can get 10 voices in Divine-mode with only 20% utilization on my core i7 quad-core on what seems to be the more complex patches, but how does this really compare to what others are seeing?

I don't know of a benchmark, but I can tell you my experiences on my i7 quad are similar to yours. Ever since the multi-core update, I can usually run several instances in parallel on the divine setting. This really depends on the patch, however. CPU killers to my knowledge are: high filter resonance, feedback and filter FM, modulation of said parameters, and naturally high release times. So I can program a single patch easily that will send me to crackle land in no time. The FX hardly use any CPU by comparison.

A benchmark would be interesting, but maybe there's not enough geeks on KVR with the time and/or the inclination for it. Witness this thread:

Thanks for the info. I'd be willing to participate in a benchmark effort.
