I wanted to bump this thread as there's been some discussion of the
firebox over on osxaudio lately.

The short version is that more than a few people using OSX class
compliant FireWire audio devices (like FA-101 and Presonus) are
reporting a scary CPU cost just having the device plugged in,
sometimes as much as 20% in the kernel_task -- this, mind you, without
any programs actually using the device. Nobody has heard any such
reports about other devices like MOTU or RME that ship their own
drivers.
