The VST patch on sourceforge

I've been meaning to look into it, although it's quite a bit of work going through all the extra code from the highres timer patch.

Well, really all it uses is the HR timer. The rest of HRT is not really used for VST. (Unless, of course, you are refering to the work over of the tsc timer tick code.)

Thanks,
