lower latency =3D low= er throughput =3D=3D YES

lower throughput =3D lower overall performance =3D=3D NOT NECESSARI= LY

It depends on how you measure performance. For me performance mea= ns
that real time audio, such as vocals from a singer, flow through the<= br> machine without being delayed enough for the singer to hear the delay.
T= hat's performance since without it the machine is useless.

Granted, = I get fewer MIPS, etc., but the machine's performance, as I
measure it, = is higher.
