Yeah, in my case I use lots of convoluter points. The number increses with higher sampling rates as does the CPU load. This makes for great convolution quality, but 1 second worth of samples at DSD rates uses almost all of my CPU horsepower. This leads to two problems. First, no other applications better be running since even a mouse click to one might cause an audible glitch. This includes various periodic operating system functions that manage to schedule their activity in the middle of listening sessions. Second, my room had better be freezing cold, otherwise the CPU will start heating up and the nearly inaudible 1200 RPM fan will speed up to 2500 RPM or even higher and become audibly annoying.
With the right software, I could probably create a batch job to make new DSD files that are pre-convoluted and all of the fan noise would happen in the middle of various nights... Then I could just play the new files straight through.
