you could change [env~] to [env~ 8192], so that it only outputs a number
every 8192 samples, so the vu-meter does not get updated that often. actually there are three different rates in pd, sampling-rate (audio),
control rate (normally sr/64) and then the gui update rate. with a
normal [env~], the vu-meter is updated every 1.5ms. althoug the refresh
rate of the screen is much lower, it seems, that calculation of updating
is done on every message (at least on windows).
so you mean, that for GOPs or GUIs in general it is better to use tcl/tk's
refresh rate, which is the K-rate? with env~ 8820 it spends the half cpu
as before, but anyway still too much for such a simple thing, I guess.
