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.
