One specific case where I have seen it slow a computer down is when a screen full of information is sent out my roommate's computer will pause until the buffer of the synth catches up.

(It shows up on the screen faster not just that you hear it sooner.) ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
