Hey, I've been experiencing a similar problem. I had two patches running with -nogui both had netreceives and both were streaming mp3 and both were running at about 1.5 % cpu each. But as soon as I added a third patch the cpu load skyrockets to about 60%. Sometimes it's just one of the patches running at about 55% and sometimes it seems to be distributed between the three patches and each of them shows about 15 - 20%. Really weird. I've also tried various combinations of the patches to see if one of them is the problem but it doesn't matter which two of the three run together, they just use 1.5% each but as soon as I add a third, it goes up to 50 - 60%. Another strange thing is that I tried running all three on another, similar machine with the exact same setup and there, all three ran at only about 0.9% each.
This is using pd 36 on redhat 7.3, 600mhz celeron The patches are pretty basic, they all use netreceive, route, delread/write~,mp3cast~ and buzz~. Aside from that it's just osc~ and phasor~ stuff.
If there's some way to resolve the problem I'd love to hear it.

I've been using -nogui -rt under linux without anyproblems. I'm doing Gem stuff though, and my patch is very complex and so I'm not suprised it uses 96% CPU on my 700Mhz. I'm also using 36... I do have netsends and netreceives in the patch...
just to add, I also have pd -nogui running on a server. it does some mp3streaming and other things with OSC. no netreceives, though. been running for months now.
