Four instances are pretty much four times more wasteful on resources
than a single instance. The synth has a built-in parallel renderer,
you just need to use it:

fluid_settings_setint(settings, "synth.cpu-cores", 4);

That's not a reason either as the synth supports multi-channel
rendering. Sorry, I think you should not claim to understand the
synth.

The "host of dlls" strongly depends on the environment used for
compilation. That said, V2 does not have any extra dependencies!

V2 provides (completely useless) bug fixes for an organ. V1.1.8 could
crash your entire app...
