hello everyone, 

big quotation signs,

I have a pix tracking patch that is giving me 200% load with the pd load meter patch, but seeing the fedora cpu meters i see the load distributed over several processors. the machine is a 3ghz quadcore and is running fedora 11. there does't seem to be any video freezes...

check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3XIomHgwo

any ideas?
is this really working or is it an illusion? 
what should i expect of such an overload?

best,

J
