i think that pd should be able to load a simple soundfile into an array without blocking for ages. also i think it should be possible to draw a line in a graph/array without making the whole application stutter.
I haven't used this functionality in Pd as of yet, but it could have a lot to do with system resources as well.
there are workarounds and one can learn to avoid situations, but ideal would be a pd taking care of such things.
In terms of graphical work on screen while audio is being played, Ardour is a good example, and seems to handle it well.
