Filters - Hop and No hop. What is the difference?

[Halon]

As the title says, What exactly is the difference?

The number of samples processed. No hop means every sample is processed, hop(x) only processes every x sample. The cost is CPU load, the more samples processed the more accurate the result and the more work for the CPU.

I would add that for filters usually only the coefficients update is hopped while the filtering itself is iterated at sample rate. This is justified in many cases because filter modulation is often much slower than the audio signal.
