Just rebuilt my PC with some new parts since it wasn't working and ran the Europa benchmark song all the way through with no cracks or pops. Feels good!

Mac OS Catalina , Reason 12.6.1

Built in Audio card

Seems to work best with Max audio threads set to 6. CPU usuage is about 400% when clicks start.

NEW 12.6.2 update on M2 mac mini 8gb (updated from M1 mini) - Apparently no improvements?
Reason CPU usage topped to 230%. 4 cores.

Europa patch V1.

Internal audio 48Khz

128samples 36 bars or 32secs (±0%)
512samples 56 bars or 46secs (±0%)

Motu Ultralite FW MKII 44.1Khz - at 48Khz (same as internal audio test) equal results as internal audio card test.

128samples 43 bars or 36 secs (±10%)
512samples 60 bars or 51secs (±10%)

reducing the song to 63 Europa instances also gave me a slight boost at 128samples, ending at 42 secs and 512 at 52 secs.
Memory usage was 5gb for Reason, with 2,16Gb active for apps and 3,5 for reserved and compressed; 2Gb free mem. Ogb swap mem usage.
The full Europa V1 uses 8gb or ram fro Reason, and about the same for active, reserved and compressed, but strangely no swap usage this time...
not sure what is going on, just thought to report about this... (first time test swap usage was about 14gb?)
