the built-in "stack overflow" counter allows a recursion of 1000/(#obj involved)

öhm, dat's why i put the (#obj involved) term into my "equation": it means "number of objects involved". this means that it is not a real "recursion depth". (and sometimes it

i was dummified by the "loop" (as in "message loop") and thus was immediately thinking of recursion.

well, the speed of the machine does _not_ effect the maximum allowed number of loop-iterations. (however, if you are doing audio at the same time, you might consider a fast machine and a larger audiobuffer to avoid clicks)
i guess the only limitation is the size of the counter.
