Is there a downside to using a very slow metro object e.g. [metro 1000000] ? (in terms of cpu or memory usage).
Should be no problem. metro and delay etc. just tell Pd's clock to schedule an action at a certain time. Pd's clock is running anyway, so there should be no cpu or memory issues.
Though: with *very* long delays (like years), you might run out of floating point number accuracy. In that case, I'd rather use a time-object like "date"(?) from Zexy or even an external programm like crond/atd.
