Perfect, thanks a bunch Claude.
So, back to the first message from Marius, what are we going to do
about this?
I regret that I have not yet mastered parallel programming, but would
be game to help out in any way possible (even QA/testing if need be).

More specifically, my question is: How does PD's performance scale when the number of available
processing units increases from 2 to 4 and to 8 cores? Is the
main engine written in such a way as to take advantage of this, or
is it primarily a single-threaded?Pd's engine is a single thread, it will use at most 100% of *one*
core. Pd's gui is a single thread, it will use at most 100% of *one* core.The communication between engine <--> gui is suboptimal, which might
limit things, but unlikely.Besides running multiple copies of Pd, how does Pd scale on many- cpu systems?
It doesn't.
