why?
Large tables are mostly stored in an audio format, rather than text.
i was talking about pd/pd-gui communication (and keep the number format for both saving and pd/gui communication the same). when displaying/updating a table every single number is converted to text using printf, send over the wire and then converted back to a number for drawing the table. it makes a difference if you have to transmit 44100 *4 bytes or 44100*12 bytes.
Wow! How wide is your screen?
