Personally I'd do heavy text processing in something like pdlua. Pd feels awkward when processing text.
but even if you do not heavy text processing, there are ways to pollute the symbol table heavily. it is sufficient to only display the results of the text processing in pd (in a canvas or GEM [text3d]) to pollute it. for instance, when using OSC, probably every message is a new symbol. so i guess, it cannot be avoided, even if text processing is done outside of pd, unless a string type is introduced (is that correct?).
