Hi Eric, currently there's no low-priority messaging in Miller's pd version, but there is in the devel branch. It's one of the features that have been there for some time and i'm trying to provide a patch for Miller, so that it can make it into vanilla PD some time in the future. Hopefully the auto-discard mechanism of the patch tracker will blow up before that time. Don't expect the feature to be available soon.
all the best, Thomas

Greetings,
Is there anything in Pd comparable to MaxMSP's defer_low() mechanism? As I understand it, defer_low() will force a function to proceed at a more leisurely pace to assure that it doesn't crowd out the highest-priority DSP operations. In terms of observed performance, when the function in question was run with a regular function call in MaxMSP, it resulted in all kinds of horrible glitching in the audio playback. After running it through defer_low () everything worked quite smartly. In Pd, running the function with a regular function call simply crashes Pd after a few seconds of operation.
TIA, Eric
