I've read further and searched the archives of the list.

Is this related to denormals?

Isn't pd now handling denormals correctly? (that is, avoiding them) I mean vanilla 0.40.

I ask that because I've seen discussion dating back to 2003 about this issue. Is it still an issue?

Another thing I don't understand is why that is a problem only in pentium4: don't other processors have denormals as well?

thanks m.

Hi,

I'm having the "CPU jumps after a while" problem. That is, the same patch which at the beginning is consuming about 30% of CPU, after a while it is running (and absolutely nothing changes in it, and I am totally sure this is true) suddenly jumps to a CPU consumption over 70%.

I've read in the archives it is an issue specific to Pentium4, and that there is an optimized version of PD that solves it.

Is there a 0.40.x pentium4-optimized version of pd-vanilla precompiled for windows? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks a lot in advance bye m.
