Hello,
I've installed Pd-extended 0.43 versions (Linux and OSX) from the autobuilds several times in the past year. The latest builds seem to work fine in many aspects, but they are still so CPU-hungry: ~ 50% more than Pd-extended 0.42. How come?
A while ago, the new PortAudio version was blamed (http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg50357.html). Indeed, using Jack solves the load difference for OSX.
But on Debian I also observe a 50% load increase for the new Pd-extended. No matter if ALSA or Jack is used. Does anyone have similar observations with Linux builds?
BTW, I'm happy with Tk 8.5's antialiased font! Initially, I feared that antialiasing was responsible for increased load on Debian, but disabling GUI updates did not make noticeable difference. It seems that antialiasing is done rather efficiently, the performance drop must be somewhere else.
