Ahhh, you kids nowadays, with your 30+ seconds of fast delay memory, and your Blackfins, and your bang bang music!

In all seriousness, isn't 248k x24bits about 5 seconds of fast delay memory @ 48 kHz? Older reverb designs got by just fine with about 1 second of delay memory; double or triple that and things can sound really nice. I would doubt that a single Freescale DSP would have the cycles to fill up 15 seconds of memory with enough taps / allpasses / whatever to get the required echo density.
