Hi,
an observation:
I did a little "benchmark" of the new console in the Pd main window. Sending a lot of error messages (one every 32th note in a 120 bpm track) creates a load on my machine of about 70 percent. Using the "-stderr" option and sending errors to the xterm the CPU will linger around at 15 to 20 percent. I added "-stderr" to my .pdrc now. ;)
