hey i just noticed in osx Activity Monitor when running Millers Pd-0.46-2-64bit that pd-core runs at 64bit and (im assuming) pd-gui runs at 32bit. I am imaging this is because Millers is Tk 8.4 (32bit) while your retina disto is Tk 8.5 (64bit) meaning millers 64bit build only runs half in 64bit but yours runs in full 64....
i don't even know if that makes much of a difference to most but I thought i would point that out. i noticed this when i tried to load the tkdnd package (64bit) from a gui plugin and got a wrong architecture warning.... meaning is if a plugin depends on a tk package that package would need to be built 32bit or universal to be used with millers 64bit mac builds....
