Hi Roman,

this is definitely not a general problem of pd. the most netpd-instruments do switch~ing all the time and i never noticed an increasing cpu usage over time on my and on many other computers.
you might also provide a little testpatch, that triggers to problem on your machine, so that everyone can easily test as well.
One test patch came up earlier in thread:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-04/049372.html
here:
ubuntu dapper pd-vanilla 0.40.2 (compiled from source) no increased cpu usage due to [switch~]ing
Here:
Mac Powerbook 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4
OSX 10.4.9, PD Extended 0.39.2 and Gentoo Linux, PD 0.39.2 self-compiled
both exhibit exponential CPU climbing, will test more with mentioned test patch and report back
best, d.
