Hi,
After a whole day spent trying to find the bottleneck that makes my patche so tremendosly slow to load in Pd under linux, I found out that if I load them from the native linux filesystem (an ext4 partition) they load about 30 times faster than when I load them from my NTFS partition which is where I usually keep all my data.
Outside Pd I had never noticed an abnormal slowness in reading data from that disk, and though I did expect NTFS to be slower in linux I am surprised the difference can be so huge. Is it so, or may there be some issue specific to Pd?
Thanks m.
