It appears that current iteration of freeverb~ is susceptible to
denormals
bug. Namely, feeding silence after sound hogs cpu (I chuckled by
reading
Pd's CPU footprint which was in excess of 400%). Adding a tiniest
amount of
DC bias inside Pd solves this but I wonder shouldn't this be simply
added
to
the freeverb c code instead?
On which CPUs does this problem occur? It seems both annoying and a good excuse to slow down programmes on CPUs that don't have the problem (?).
This is on Intel Atom 1.6GHz (netbook). Freeverb~ source is from the pd-extended branch (I believe), although it could be from the 0.41.4 rather than 0.42.5 (not sure if that makes any difference).
