MIR is most definitely going to require its own machine, at least with current technological limitations. One simply can not work with that many IRs (several hundred at a time) while doing other tasks. Perhaps with the introduction of quad-core processors and the lifting of the RAM barrier we will see computers powerful enough to handle both MIR and a certain amount of, for lack of a better term, compositional elements, but for the moment I can't see it as feasible.
It's important to remember that MIR is not just a mix panel or reverb plugin, it's designed to serve as the primary front end for the VSL library. What, exactly, that will mean remains somewhat unclear - at least to me.
Dietz, please feel free to contradict me on any of this; I'm just rehashing what I've read.
