hi,
Well, yes. you better write functions that take less that 1.45 ms to finish, .. .much less. PD is not multithreaded or asynchron, thats what makes messages deterministic wrt to the audio processing.
hum, that's right but looks like there's no way of achieving some longer operations, in fact, if you know some operations will take time, you just have to thread them, check out cooled~ for an example of this.
cheers, sevy
