hello,
yes, list are very slow.
by example, pmpd* object have messages to output list, in order to "list prepend 0" - "list trim" - "send table-foo" we add few years ago messages to allow direct writing to table.
using list size > 100 or 1000 gives incredible speed difference.
cheers Cyrille

How many table names total were there in the patch that was overloading the device?
I don't remember anymore, that was in 2009, when the abstraction was first posted here on pd-list.
But if you don't believe me, just do some benchmarks on your own and compare array access with list filtering.
