hi! i was testing pdp library , and it consumes a lot of my cpu. ....simple patches (like for example: example03.pd and example04) consumes 75 to 85 percent .......... if i use my gem patches with pdp(gem2pdp) the cpu usage goes up to 100%..........why is that?? Is this normal with pdp??? complex patches in gem never goes up to 60 %... i have a pentium centrino 1,7 with 768 ram and Nvidia GeForce FX Go 5200 on Agnula Demudi......... pd 0.37.4

is there way to fix this???

i don't know but this could be a demudi issue. i'm having similar problems but with GOP patches, does it seem like an X and/or memory thing to you? perhaps there are some ideas from peoples that use demudi and heavy weight X software...eg pdp, pd's gui?. (correct me if i'm wrong).

my problem originated from the pd 0-37(devel) packaged with demudi as well. i'm am in the process of trying to nut it out by comparing this with 38-test 7 and 37 (non-devel). but as yet have not found an answer. as far as i can see, my problem is caused when i used lots of sampling and tabreads~ + delreads~. i'm kinda confused because i used to use fedora core 1 with pd-37 and i remember using a patch with 200mb of sampled material without too much problem. this is why i think it is a demudi thing...but then again i'm no linux guru...yet ;)

i hope ths helps.... and eventially helps me.
