hi,
perhaps all the more experienced Pd coders did not notice this thread (or my question was badly posed)?
Me, for my part, I was to lazy to think about it :)
Anyway, I would like to try once again, this time with some measurement data (not very hard data yet)...
...on my system, using method 5 as a reference, on average:
. method 1 performs 2.5 times slower,
. method 4 is 4.25 times slower and has nasty peaks.
Frequent memory allocation should always be avoided, so method 5 is the best way to go. If your buffer gets to small, reallocate its memory increasing it by an appropriate size, that has to be done only in a few cases, so most of the time you will get away with the best of both worlds, no memory allocation and dynamic space,
