I always thought only Pentium processors had this issue. My Athlon systems never got bogged down by denormals, running the same patches that killed my P4 in minutes.

Dear List,
I am trying to run 40 karplus-strong delays, 20ms max long each, using vd~ and delwrite~ with the (filter~ bpq $1 $2 1 1) modulating.
My system is a 1.2GHz Athlon Win98SE 700MB Ram.
Perhaps it cannot deal with 0.99999 as the coefficient within each infinite loop?
Maybe I should put the volume before the delay loop, as opposed to after? Maybe I could use the xsample objects?
My processor starts off ok, and after about 1 min, it hits 100% and stays there!
sounds like a denormal problem. which pd version are you using? which iemlib version are you using?
