A long time ago I learned (the hard way) that no
computer system is worth more than about 1 or 2
software version upgrades.  You get more features and
often higher quality, but there's always a price. 
More often than not, if your system is working the way
you like it and you don't *need* the new features,
it's best to make a disk image of your machine end
freeze it in time.

> about 30efx units

Wow, that sounds like a very, very heavy mix.  None of
those effects could be put no sends so a single
instance of an effect might deal with multiple
channels?  Good way to save CPU cycles.
