Make sure to never use the -rt flag when running GEM on OSX. I believe any of the pthread hacks introduced to Pd for OSX are only activated by using the -rt flag now. If not then it's a bug and one that was already fixed in 0.37.

Hi there, i just read IOhannes` post on realtime and linux issues. perhaps this is something related, since the symptoms are pretty similar. so, if i do some video processing that it too much for my cpu (which happens quite often on my G3-900 iBook) my system is completely overloaded an i can not even kill the process, because i cannot access my terminal any more. the video is still running and being processed though, but i am out of the busines. the only way to avoid this is to set the "gemwin" to a low framerate. is there another way to do this? gem seems to try to get the maximum results at all cost. can somebody help me, please?! is there some way to lower the framerate dynamically at runtime or something like a framedrop external?
