Hi Chris. I do understand that you were talking primarily about OSX and not about Linux, and I'm not at all disupting the primary point you are making. But even though it may have nothing do do with your argument, you made a statement about how "pd -rt" works on Linux (which I do have some experience with), and I believe that what you said is in error. So, I felt that I needed to reply. The fact is, that on Linux, using POSIX real-time scheduling as enabled by the "-rt" option, _is_ different then simply "nice'ing" a process to a not so nice level. I just wanted to clarify that. That's really all.
Yep, you are correct. I was looking at my local source for s_inter.c
and it has a renice call for OSX, which I thought was also for Linux.
This file is out of date however and no longer applies to any current
version of Pd.
