The code will be shared, and for a typical channel strip EQ

it's  peanuts anyway. Then there's per-instance data which

again for an normal EQ isn't anything to worry about.

It's the GUI that takes up most of the resources. Most

of the GUI code will be shared with other parts, but the

data won't.
