More widgets are used, more performances will decrease, the design of a

We don't need to put a numberbox for each value for sighing a changing 
set of value, canvas could be used as well.
one numberbox could be used with some patch magick, I particulary use 
the zexy object [demux] for for using a single numbox to set a large 
bunch of parameters.

VU is dramatically a performance issue, but they could be replaced by 
lighter objects, like canvas and sliders.
