I found the root of the disappearing lines on Windows, it is indeed  
related to namespaces.  And in that process, I found out that Pd uses  
Tcl_Eval() to execute the Tcl commands.  It turns out that Tcl_Eval()  
seems to be the slowest Tcl function available for doing this.
I am thinking of switching it to use Tcl_EvalObjEx(), which compiles  
the Tcl to bytecode, then caches the bytecode.  It also skips some  
deprecated actions which Tcl_Eval() still does.
Anyone know anything about this?  I am curious about what the  
pitfalls might be before going down this road.
