Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Frank Barknecht (fbar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add a serialize operation to [list]
Initial Comment: I benchmarked the way, lists can be serialized using [list split] as described in the list-help.pd file against the binary external version in Zexy called [drip].
The patched version is about 430 times slower than Zexy's [drip]. As serialization is used a lot to do many other list operation (like reversal, rotation, math-operations on lists etc.) including an equivalent to Zexy's [drip] in [list] can be a huge performance boost for little cost, so I suggest to just do that and ship something like [list drip] or [list serialize] with [list] (I prefer the version, that is less typing.)
