Hi HC,
It actually can slow down or jam up my entire OSX desktop as well, which
is an even bigger bummer. Sometimes this effect lasts even after quitting PD, requiring a restart.This is most likely due to the elevated pthread priority hack Pd uses on OSX. Setting the -nrt flag should bypass that, but it should probably be removed altogether.
I don't recall exactly why it was introduced. I thought it was to
reduce clicking when the GUI was being used during audio playback. If
there aren't any advantages, it sounds like it should be removed.

The effect lasting after Pd sounds like the Pd process is not killed after the Wish GUI quits. There is nothing Pd can do while it's not running to affect the OS.
