Also, when I used to load the full zexy.pd_darwin, my Pd startup time

noticed that this new Pd extended loads faster. Were the zexy

effect Pd's performance? I'm wondering if anyone's done any tests.i doubt that. i can only test on linux and i don't use pd-extended,
but here's a test i just made:
Well, if you were loading a lot of libs, and it triggered swapping,
then it would be noticably slower.
.hc
zmoelnig@ferrari:~$ time pd pdquit.pd pd_gui: pd process exited
real 0m0.466s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.023s zmoelnig@ferrari:~$ time pd -lib zexy pdquit.pd pd_gui: pd process exited

the "pdquit.pd" just closes pd with a loadbang. so there is not really a difference.
trying the same with "-nogui" i get:
zmoelnig@ferrari:~$ time pd -nogui pdquit.pd
real 0m0.004s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.002s zmoelnig@ferrari:~$ time pd -nogui -lib zexy pdquit.pd ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©© © the zexy external 2.1 © © (l) forum::für::umläute © © compiled: Oct 27 2005 © © send me a 'help' message © ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©
