Does PD recompute the whole DSP chain whenever a table (with one or more tabread~ reading from it) is resized?
yes, the dsp chain is recreated ...
I'm talking about resizing tables by sending them a [resize( message.
I tried to isolate it in a simple patch but I couldn't reproduce it. But I think the only difference with the patch where I am experiencing this is the complexity of the global dsp graph, that's why I ask if the dsp graph is recomputed.....
sure ... the more complex the dsp graph gets, the cpu time to resort the graph increases ... of course allocating memory from the underlying os is not a lightweight operation, either ...
in pd, you shouldn't try to resize / load / store tables during a performance, except you like the sound of the audio dropout ... if you need this, i can only suggest to use another program ...
