Hi
See attached patch. Open it, turn on DSP, click the toggle and compare CPU usage with the subpatch visible or hidden. On my computer, Pd takes 1% of CPU with the non-visible slider, and between 2 and 3% when the slider is visible. Remember that [bang~] bangs at audio rate :) I usually limit slider and al refresh request rate to 20ms or more : or better, once the patch runs ok, i delete all useless sliders, bangs and toggles.

Hello list reading everywhere that GUI takes enormous amount of CPU.
More precisely : does a GUI element, say a slider monitoring a signal, require lots of CPU in anycase -even when for instance it is invisible somewhere deep in a subpatch-, or is it requiring lots of CPU only when displayed in front window ?
