Well...there is so little "real" performace increase from a single processor 
Mac with current Logic, and a dual processor. I heard it is something like 
MIDI and the Graphics are loaded to one processor? That's not the important 
stuff of course. We need native FX and instruments to be split between the 
processors to see the real increase. The only part of current Logic that is 
Altivec coded is the Mixer...what about all the effects and instruments. So 
yes, I think that the performance increase with tighter coding to Apple's OSX 
and taking advance of all of this stuff that's already in the Apple hardware.

Best case is that Emagic gets it more together like Reason is. It is amazing 
how processor efficient that program is! I never run out of CPU power, and 
you can have scads of instruments, effects, tracks playing...amazing. Since 
it obvious that lt CAN be done like the props have shown us, maybe emagic 
will have the opportunity to do this now with a big influx of cash, 
developers and focusing specifically on OSX only now.

It will be interesting to see for sure!
