Hello,
Please run "top" from the command-line as well to see how much CPU PD is really taking up. On our macbooks here, and also on our G4 powerbook, both PD vanilla and extended have been running at about 50% CPU just by loading the program, but that isn't shown in PD's load meter. We have had some success with turning off airport - in some cases we get back down to 5% or so just having PD running with airport disabled. There were some posts over in the supercollider list about the same problem -- running 70% CPU just by booting the server, but then having some success (down to 1%-2%) once airport was turned off. Are you on a laptop? If so, it's at least something to try.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi List
i am quite desperate....;-(
Working on areally nice patch with boids and sound.
I have the latest available OS-X extended for Intel, which is still from nightly autobuilds (20080505), because it has a working boid3D external.
There is pmpd and Gem involved but the load meter is only a 30 percent.
After about 7 seconds of running the patch (no Gui-elemnt or number box running) i start to have nasty crackle sounds.
I have no idea where they come from....i put the delay to 100 ms and the -rt audioflag...
patch is attached
If anybody has an Idea ??
?
Best Luigi
