lower latency = lower throughput == YES |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
lower throughput = lower overall performance == NOT NECESSARILY |

It depends on how you measure performance. For me performance means |
| 20 |
that real time audio, such as vocals from a singer, flow through the |
| 21 |
machine without being delayed enough for the singer to hear the delay. |
| 22 |
That's performance since without it the machine is useless. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Granted, I get fewer MIPS, etc., but the machine's performance, as I |
| 25 |
measure it, is higher. |
