Subject: [PD] Block staggering

Hi list,

This must've come up before, but I can't find it on search.

Is there a reliable way to stagger large block computation so that the load is spread across ticks rather than spiking? Does it matter? I'm thinking of this classic configuration, where each block is calculated right before the X:


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 X X X X X X X X X X X X
  X   X   X   X   X   X
    X       X       X
        X               X


Rather than:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X X X X X X X X X X X X X
X   X   X   X   X   X   X
X       X       X       X
X               X
