Re: [fluid-dev] Proposal: FluidSynth tester program

David:

In this particular case, I first ran the test using your Ubuntu 11.10 PPA (which I repackaged for 12.04), though I thought I was testing the new fluidsynth.  I happened to notice during that testing that the RT-percentage stayed around 20% while testing.  

When I later did the "sudo ldconfig", I ran the same test (on the new fluidsynth), and noticed the higher RT-percentage.  

So the only thing changed (visible to me) is the fluidsynth library under test.  That being said, the components checking for updates could have been running (though I updated before getting and building fluidsynth).
