waves' dx claims

these are from the waves 3.6 readme, are these true?

"• DirectX 8 is not sample accurate, the smaller the buffers the better the
accuracy, but the CPU performance is more stressed.

• DirectX 8 Automation is not 100% reliable with switches. It does not
remember the parameter state, just when it was switched. For example
writing automation for an On/Off switch that started “Off” and finished “On” will
work in reverse next time unless you manually set it Off again."

how are these issues in VST ?

I know for a fact that this issue does not exist with VST2 specs, as I have many VST plugs in fruity that easily remember there initial positions
