Curious question about BPM and CPU

[Marek]

Just wondering, does a sequencer work a CPU harder by having a super slow tempo (say 10bpm) with lots of clock multi subdivision and interval intensity or by having a fast bpm and a lower clockmulti etc?

How accurate is the bpm at say 5 bpm? (I have a jazz school background so I used to practice at 5bpm to develop time accuracy).

I have to say there is something so elegant about having an algorithmic sequencer like this together with sound engines and sampling. Really opens up interesting sounds!

BPM and clock mult. values have little to no influence on the overall CPU usage.

It should be very accurate! The main clock is running at high precision and any possible drift should only be noticeable after running the clock uninterrupted for several days or perhaps even weeks. That is assuming the clock source is set to internal and not sync in or MIDI in.
