Hi HC,

I wrote [failsafe]. When the CPU is pegged, it first tries turning off the DSP (this could also easily turn off Gem rendering). If that fails, it will quit Pd, thus saving the poor machine the hard reset.
usually if I'm working on something "risky" I just assign a key (or MIDI control) to toggle DSP on and off in case of CPU overload. I wouldn't want PD to quit on me with unsaved work, however, so I'm not too sure about that function in your [failsafe]. One can always SSH into the laptop and kill PD as well...
