Well, actually, you can upsample the readsf~ to choose much faster speeds... however, you do have to wait longer for a deterministic result than you do for a "fast-as"possible" one, such as threading would give you.

hi miller
It would be easy to make an abstraction that uses readsf~ to load soundfiles into tables...
actually, this is a very weak workaround ... i mean, loading a 3 minutes sample to a buffer would take about 3 minutes ... a threaded soundfiler would maybe take 3 seconds ...
i think waiting 3 seconds would be acceptable for a performance, but 3 minutes?
writing a clean implementation of the threaded soundfiler wouldn't be that hard and it's a pretty common request, not an exotic feature for a realtime performance system like pd ...
