Would it be possible to clean this up so we could have a client/server architecture making it possible to have different clients for different platforms?

yeah that's what i said about two years ago...
the problem is, at the moment tcl/tk is embedded quite deeply into Pd itself. this is a focus of the current pd-dev effort: trying to clear this up. tcl/tk in itself isn't _necessarily_ slow, it's just that the way Pd is using it is not at all optimised (for example, as Hans-Christoph and i discovered once, when you click-drag to move an element in a graphical table, not just the element you moved but _the entire table_ is redrawn, each time).
