That's great

Btw I just spent most of a day hunting down and installing the correct driver for my harddisk, and now my computer too runs one minute auto duck in 3-4 seconds - for the increased buffer version.

Excellent result all round
If you come up with more optimisations or bug fixes for Audacity, please feel encouraged to post them.

I would like to advocate that the buffer be increased to 256K samples (i.e. 262144 samples), as I have a slightly better performance with this setting compared to the 128K samples buffer.

For a very long project I see a time reduction of around 20% (this is in contrast to the doubling of speed I had from all the other changes).
If anyone else can confirm, could/should this be effectuated?

I get same speed results (but increased memory consumption) for increasing the buffer further, so that's no good.

What are your RAM and GHz specifications, and operating system?

I run Win XP Home on a 2.2 GHz core2 duo Intel CPU
I got 2 GB RAM.
My HDD is a 5400 rpm 120 GB SATA disk - it's supposed to transfer 1.5 Gb/s, but I think it doesn't actually...
