Thanks for this info. Just for a little bit of fun I propose a challenge.

If you can take the algorithm for this script and turn it into a csound
script we can assess the complexity of both methods and benchmark the
software. It will also provide a second option for people looking for this
kind of solution in the future.

Are you interested?

An unofficial ecasound vs csound challenge...

If anyone else wanted to get in on the action with their favorite language
it might get really interesting.

I'm not sure if we can organise any prizes though. Perhaps the knowledge
gained and kudos for the most efficient solution is enough?
