Is there a downside to using a very slow metro object e.g. [metro 1000000] ? (in terms of cpu or memory usage).
I am looking for the best way to get pd to do something every 15 or 30 minutes.
thanks Oded

Should be no problem. metro and delay etc. just tell Pd's clock to schedule an action at a certain time. Pd's clock is running anyway, so there should be no cpu or memory issues.

Though: with *very* long delays (like years), you might run out of floating point number accuracy. In that case, I'd rather use a time-object like "date"(?) from Zexy or even an external programm like crond/atd.
