Dear list,

attached, you find a main patch "LAB_main" and an abstraction "hoover_canvas".

 

When the main patch is opened, it dynamically creates 80 "hoover_canvas" abstractions into the subpatch [pd guisubpatch]. 

 

These abstractions each contain a [bng] object. The [bng] objects' color is constantly changed from within the abstraction via [line].

 

 

Now my problem is: 

 

When I open the patch and the color-change is taking place, Pd causes a heavy cpu load (round about 70 %, measured with the "top" command on the command line). Also Pd responsiveness becomes very slow.

 

Also, when the color-change is taking place, and try to save changes that I made inside an abstraction, pd crashes.

 

Any hints, on my "problems" ? :-)

 

 

System: mac os sierra 10.12.6 with Pd 0-50-2

 

Thanks, Jakob
