Thats why it's /really/ stable :)

The difference is that it allows you to (possibly) get a bit lower
latency. With out-of-process on my current system I can get down to 128
sample blocks, with in process and changing my filesystem I could get down
to 64. Hoever I generaly run at 256, as I dont really care about latency
that much, and I can get more processing done at 256.
