It's hard to say. I have both programs and Cool-Edit seems to be the faster of
the two but not by much.

That's interesting. I have both, and I'd say that on balance, if a
process is CPU-bound (eg. parametric eq), then Goldwave tends to be
faster that CoolEdit. (I don't know, but would guess, that CoolEdit
might use more accurate algorithms that require more calculations).

Disk-bound processes (eg. normalisation) tend to run about the same
speed on both (which you would expect).
