I dare say PD needs to ditch tcl/tk! SDL could be a good idea.

Live is most valuable to me because it is very cpu-friendly considering the amount of tasks being done at once in such a rich visual environment. Pd on the other hand is very slow...the equivalent of maybe 2 or 3 live devices will shoot my cpu up to 75% easily.
Of course, this is because Live devices are optimized in C++. Also, the GUI is rendered by graphing bitmap primitives onto the screen...I'm pretty sure that Pd does something different/more cpu intensive using tcl/tk.
I'm all for the effort though! I just think that Pd will need some major face lifts to get it to the usability that Live offers.

would widgets and whatnots be subject to the same
clunky slowness of other
pd gui objects? or is this something that might be
improved too?
