There is no direct correlate, but the DSP pros might be able to offer other solutions. AFAIK, Pd does not have the high and low priority DSP processing.

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
