By rendering into a 32b int we don't have to saturate check in the inner loop of the voice render, which is called multiple times per actual output block. That check is very expensive.
In tsf_render_short make the input
short *bufferhave 2x the space as normal to allow the full 32b quantity for each sample to accumulate. After all voices have been rendered, then resample with saturation into int16_t values.About 24% faster on the Pico while still saturating properly.
