sorry, if this was an issue before...
i'm not sure whether .pdrc in linux overrides flags specified in the command line or the other way round ?
command line overrides the .pdrc file.
are there any ways to define different pd-settings for different purposes?
You could create executable shell scripts that call pd with different command line switches. And optionally have a .pdrc for settings that are common to all versions. Otherwise you can do without .pdrc
another thing i discovered is, that the iemlib-sliders when used excessively (i.e. by sending a stream of numbers to it ) take a deadly amount of CPU. the speed of the stream of numbers has not been that dramatic (a metro with 200ms) but still my CPU went berserk. is there a way (i.e. by setting a specific flag) to reduce the gui-priority, like the "overdrive"-option in max/msp ?
It is a known issue that the gui eats up CPU cycles (esp. redrawing). I avoid using complex gui items for monitoring purposes and i get rid of "animated" items altogether when I don't need to look at them anymore. Or hide them in subpatches which you can close and not worry about screen redrawing when performance is at stake.
