Haven't tried it personally, but I believe so, yes. 88.2KHz would double CPU usage on plugins and stuff?

It's generally advised that increasing the bitrate (from 16 to 24bits) rather than the frequency samplerate will be more beneficial to achieving better sound quality whilst trying to make best use of CPU usage.

If you're doing pop- or dance-music or similar, then no-one's going to hear or admire the nuances of higher sample rates anyway!

My ears are fucked, so I can't tell either way, hoho, but I've heard this being said more than once: Some people CAN notice a difference between 48KHz and 96KHz, etc, but they can't often say which one they prefer.

Something else I thought of, when it comes to aliasing, Korg's workstations ALL interally use native 48KHz for all the samples and mixing, but no-one's ever said "hold on, this keyboard sounds shit when recording for CD (44.1KHz)".
