Yes, but as it's wishing time ;) I would also like the PD gui to be faster. Some patches, especially those with lots of number boxes, run a lot faster when pd is started with -nogui
this should not be on a wishlist, it should be a high priority! at first i thought that Xwindows was to blame but it's the same under windows. i don't know if it's pd or tcl/tk that's causing the problem, but it's appalling to see a few spinning number boxes eat 25-40% on a 1.4ghz cpu!!! especially when i have pathetic old macs
I have never seen "a few spinning number boxes" eat up more than 1-2% on my athlon 1.4ghz ... If you honestly see such thing, you should submit a patch demonstrating this problem to the list. Miller is terrific about fixes problems, but noone can fix a problem if they dont have a specific test case.
