Thanks for this write-up and all that testing, its definitely very helpful. So in the end, you're talking about Pd-extended on debian only? It sounds like your tests show that 0.43 was not slower on Mac OS X. It does look like the Debian-i386 builds don't have optimization turned on, you can

Finally I have some clue what's wrong with Pd-E 0.43 for GNU/Linux, or for Debian Squeeze at least. Sorry that it took me so long to sit down and sort it out. The problem is still there, with version 0.43.4: my live performance setups run with almost double CPU load, when compared to 0.42. Now I a

Hmm, interesting idea. Katja, do you have the CPU meters on? .hc On May 5, 2012, at 4:57 PM, Ivica Ico Bukvic wrote: > Could it be the VU meters embedded in the main window? Those are known to be > fairly cpu intensive if updated too often. > > >

Could it be the VU meters embedded in the main window? Those are known to be fairly cpu intensive if updated too often. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

On OSX I use 'Activity Monitor' for quick check of CPU load and Shark.app for serious performance profiling, but for GNU/Linux I don't know a good equivalent of Shark. So on Debian I just start top, and for my live performance setup which does ~40% CPU load with Pd-extended 0.42, it is ~60% with 0.

I honestly don't know the cause, and haven't really checked on numbers. I mostly work on my four year old laptop, and test by running patches I know (solitude is a good test of heavy CPU usage, it won't run on a machine less than 1.6GHz, from my experience). As for drawing operations like ant

Hello, I've installed Pd-extended 0.43 versions (Linux and OSX) from the autobuilds several times in the past year. The latest builds seem to work fine in many aspects, but they are still so CPU-hungry: ~ 50% more than Pd-extended 0.42. How come? A while ago, the new PortAudio version was blamed
