Indicates that any changes to the port value may trigger +expensive background calculation (e.g. regenerate some lookup tables in a +background thread). Any value changes may have not have immediate effect, or +may cause silence or diminished-quality version of the output until background +processing is finished.

Control input +ports of this type are well-suited for being connected to sources of smooth +signals (knobs with smoothing, modulation rate oscillators, output ports with +continuousCV type, etc.). Typically, the plugin with ports which have this +property will implement appropriate smoothing to avoid audio artifacts.
