The changes that I made to enable the different colors are really quite trivial so I have a hard time believing that to be the culprit. But there have been quite a few changes since 2007-05-01. Maybe try an autobuild from a month ago, before the color changes?
Could you post patches that illustrate the slow loading?
I'll try earlier versions to see when the problem happened - but it is true of ALL patches - whenever they are redrawn it takes extra CPU time by the Pd-0.40.3-extended process. I'll keep exploring ... but so far:
CPU peaks when a patch is opened, the window is resized or moved onto the screen (the CPU usage depends on the number of elements currently visible in the patch window).
CPU is not affected when windows are moved inside the screen boundaries or covered/uncovered by other windows, dialogue boxes etc.
another odd, unhelpful behaviour and possibly a useful detail:
when a GOP abstraction is open while editing (ie it is showing as a
grey rectangle) and the grey rectangle is moved then CPU usage goes
up and the abstraction's window in the background is (very
redundantly) redrawn
