Another thing that could be done is extending the GUI on the TCL/TK side, ala "snack", for example. This would reduce overhead for expensive GUI objects, because functionality is built into the widgets.
This would only be a solution if one wanted to stay with TCL/TK......
Yes, of course, ... but it would offer a smooth way for the transition.
We could write a "object" widget (edititing functionality etc, in the tk widget set) and a way how this communicates with pd. This way we already cover 95 % of all "graphical" stuff in a pd patch, and we have a proof of concept. Then we could go on like this with other graphical objects.
Well, just an idea, have to think more about it....
