What do you do exactly? Increase the priority of the pd background
process?
It sounds like we need to revisit the "realtime" priority stuff on Mac
OS X. Sara, have you tried using the -nrt flag with a newer version
of Pd? I am curious as to whether that would make a difference.

It's basically just a frontend for the unix renice command. I find
that it's possible to get 25-30% increase in efficiency using this.You can choose to increase the CPU processing priority of either the
GUI or the audio/video. whatever you see fit. Possibly this can serve
as an interim solution../d5

Hi Hans,

news to me that its actually slower than older versions. That would

Tk/Aqua stuff to use CoreGraphics, which should speed things up
quite a bit. I am wondering what makes things go slower with newer
versions.I am still using the 0.37.1 PD-version(on osx.3.9) for the exact same
reason that the newer versions of pd are super slow. Opening up my
performance interface (using quite a few abstractions) and trying to
push a toggle or bang is nearly impossible. No response at all.As you, I am puzzled by the fact what changed in the newer versions
which makes the pd-GUI slower than the older versions. I'm using the
0.37.1 version without X11 and i'm using the tcl/tk 8.4.9 (wish
shell). I'm not a great fan of using X11, but if that would help
figuring out what went different in the production of the newer
pd-versions, than that would be worth trying.Sara
One thing that tigital is proposing, which I think would be worth
trying, is making a Fink/X11 version of Pd. This should get around
the slowness of Tk/Aqua, but would mean that you need X11 to use
that version of Pd..hc
