I've been running pd on my slow wearable (500Mhz) and, over the last year, the performance has gotten worse. This trend coincides with my greater understanding of pd and adoption of nice GOP guis.
Yeah, I'm definitely learning this. I do enjoy the creative limitations actually, it's just that things ran "so much better" a year ago with Ubuntu Hardy + Pd-extended 0.39 ... Perhaps I'm at the point where I just need to reimplement what I have now in C/C++ using rt audio, etc but that would take time of course. I originally started using pd just to prototype anyway ...
The first live video processing system I built in 2001 with Casey Rice used 400Mhz machines, and we had no problems with doing what we wanted to do. It required a lot of research into the video medium, OS APIs, and this frustrating black box called Nato. Once you understand the limits of what you are dealing with, forget about them and get down to work.
