Why doesn Atomic Cloud run as a VST plugin?

Getting a really smooth cloud can take quite a lot of CPU power. Basically, the more overlapping grains you have at any given time, the more CPU cycles Atomic Cloud will use. Losing the overhead of the VST host and any other VST plugins means you can get a much denser grain cloud on the same system, so I decided to make Atomic Cloud a standalone program.
