I can make a guess: it could be that the select() call is returning instantly instead of sleeping as it should. This is what happens for -nogui on W2K, and perhaps it happens all the time on XP.
Maybe I have to go install XP on a machine somewhere... yuck! Miller

is there any reason that you can think of that would make pd eat up alot of cpu on windows xp professional [or home] then on windows 2000 ?

Yes, if you run -nogui, put a "netreceive" somewhere in your patch or else the scheduler gets sick. Why, you might ask, but it's too ugly to talk about

I usually run pd with XP. It seems to run fine altough I also had this problem with the -nogui flag. I posted a thread a while ago concerning this. Seems like -nogui option makes Pd behave differently... Ivan

hello all ,
i recently upgraded my win2k sony vaio z505ls laptop to windows xp ..
this
is the machine that i usually run pd off of . however after doing a
clean
install of windows xp , when ever i run pd my cpu gets loaded . if
there is
nothing running in the pd window then i can still open up a patch ... however once i load patches that i had on the this machine before , the computer comes to a crawl . i installed the sony drivers before ever
trying
to run pd with windows xp installed so i dont know if this is the cause
of
the problem . is any one else running windows xp and pd ? if so are
you
having any issues with the combination ?
i even tried minimizing the pd window to see if it was some graphical component that was eating up the cpu but that didnt help at all . i
also
tried the -nogui option but it gives me the "audio I/O stuck ...
closing
audio" message and the system again comes to a crawl .
thanks again
joge .
