hello,

I have been messing with realtime priority settings under Irix. I have it working and the improvement is very good (I am using a very high setting and it has not brought down my machine yet). the fft patches run better. Convobros.pd runs (about %72 of the CPU) without breaking up even when you interact with the pd gui, although the gui slows down(like MSP on a 120mhz PPC under a heavy load). Im even using the egcs compilers not the SGI native.... Native -- I will do that this week. :-) . you can open imbedded patches without the audio breaking up and move the mouse around in windows without audio breaking up. Also, graphic array updates dont break up the audio either (depends on what you are doing but maybe only 1 click every 10 to 20 secs vs the old way of continuous audio interruptions) At any rate, I only have the code in place for 6.4 and up I think.

Michael
