Just wondering why hsv2rgb.pd (which is pretty incomprehensible) isn't a compiled external. I had to write a C implementation because the Pd implementation was too slow. Some rough benchmarks:
Hi Claude,
As the resident abstractions-over-externals obsessive, I feel I should put forward an argument to the contrary, just for good measure. Basically it goes like this: CPU is getting cheaper, but programmer time is getting more expensive (or put a different way; i'd rather make the computer do work than myself do work). My implication is that editing an abstraction is easier than editing & compiling an external, which could well be wrong, but there it is.
Best,
Chris.
