This workaround doesn't solve the problem. When you have to deal with messages, debugs and all sort of problems in the communication of instances it just start the wave of problems.
most likely, you have a serious design problem.
For newbies working with simple patches
it is a frustration. For people working professionally in complex patches it is a hell.
then you do you have a serious design problem.
I think it is a annoying, important and bizarre problem for a software aimed at multimedia computing. The last time I had to deal with this rarely documented problem made me consider switch to other platforms. I wish someone could make it a high priority request for the PD developers.
the fact that it is a "rarely documented problem" makes me think that the priority need not be as high as you suggest.
in the meantime, raise the audio buffer of Pd. (and get yourself a decent gfx card with some proprietary (shudder) drivers).
having said that, there is certainly loads of things to improve.
since you seem to be "working professionally in complex" scenarios, i would like to invite you to help solving the problem (in a way that doesn't break everything platform X)
