well, we are optimizing and optimizing the engine, new versions will be better. The number of instances depends on what you are loading, they could be a lot more than 15. We don't think we need to re work it very much. We are waiting for faster cpu, in the meanwhile we are expanding our libraries and userbase. I think there is a tradeoff between what you are expecting from a plugin, results and cpu load.
First customers were users who were looking for the closest emulation possible. They bought even without trying the demo. Someone was satisfied, someone not.

Than we had positive reviews, so the interest increased. Someone tested the plug using first dualcores and was happy, someone tested it using slow old p IV and was not excited very much.

With quadracores we had a lot of positive feedbacks, obviously, because the attention is moving from "how much cpu is using" to "is this emulation worth" to "is really better than".

Today you have fast dual xeon, and they are pretty cheap. Using an dual xeon, the cpu load should not be a trouble any more, unless you think to run everything in real time for each possible track of your mix. At the moment the real trouble is the workflow and gui. I think you get many emulations, they are pretty cheap and they are (in my opinion) very good. Sometimes you could replace an expensive hardware gear, so it makes sense.
