Hi, Miller. I'm glad to see that we're getting there. If the same "object-problem" could result in different CPU load differences between .46 and .47 depending on the context they're in, then maybe delwrite~ and/or vd~ alone could explain the ~20% difference I had loading the same patch with the two versions of the software.
Most of the objects in my project include audio math objects (arithmetic, pow, cos, pow, abs, wrap, samphold), but I doubt that these have changed. I also have quite a few tabwrite~ and tabread4~ objects, how about these ones? Thanks, Dario On 3 August 2016 at 19:47, Miller Puckette <m...@ucsd.edu> wrote: > Aha...
