FXpansion has released just a few screenshots on their official forum. Little information in their own words: “BFD2 is more CPU efficient, depending on how you use it. We’ve added a lot of new features and unfortunately things like component modelled compressors and EQ’s do tend to be quite CPU heavy. We are doing everything to make this more acceptable. As a rough guide to CPU usage, on my macbook pro it currently runs at about 15% of CPU with a 32 piece kit, song timeline running in the groove engine, multiple effects in the mixer as well as several concurrent busses running. (which for comparison is about the same as running 30+ tracks in cubase, plus maybe 10 fx).”
