Greetings,<br><br>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.
