Its not necessarily slower, since it doesn't change the CPU. This just allows you to use the -realtime flag, which gives Pd elevated execution priority on the CPU. This means that it is harder to interrupt Pd and it will be allowed to use more of the CPU time. IMHO, I think this mostly affects dropouts and glitches, since Pd won't be interrupted as often by other processes (Aqua being a likely culprit since it uses a lot of CPU and runs at an elevated priority). But its possible that it could speed things up a little bit.

Not if you make the pd executable setuid root. To do so, run this (assuming your pd is installed in /usr/local/bin/pd): sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/pd sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/pd Then pd will always run as root regardless of who started it. This is a modest security risk though, setting any app setuid root is. .hc On Monday, Sep 15, 2003, at 07:25 America/New_York, Amos Elmaliah wrote:
hi i just starting to use pd, on a osx machine.
- i compiled it myself. my question: is it necessary to sudo pd to
get real time in osx? amos. _______________________________________________ PD-list mailing list PD-list@iem.at http://iem.at/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pd-list
