+/** Config: JUCE_DSP_ENABLE_SNAP_TO_ZERO
+
+    Enables code in the dsp module to avoid floating point denormals during the
+    processing of some of the dsp module's filters.
+
+    Enabling this will add a slight performance overhead to the DSP module's
+    filters and algorithms. If your audio app already disables denormals altogether
+    (for exmaple, by using the ScopedNoDenormals class or the
+    FloatVectorOperations::disableDenormalisedNumberSupport method), then you
+    can safely disable this flag to shave off a few cpu cycles from the DSP module's
+    filters and algorithms.
