Summary: ui performance bad on 0.40.3-extended
Initial Comment:
In the UI on MacOSX/Intel (and probably other platforms), opening a patch, and dragging objects around in a patch, is significantly slower in Pd-0.40.3-extended than in 0.40.2-vanilla.
This problem exists back to at least the 2008-01-08 autobuild.
Attached patches demonstrate the problem. Open up ui-slowness-test.pd. On 0.40.2-vanilla, this loads quickly. on 0.40.3-extended, there's a noticeable delay on load.
Now select all objects and drag. On 0.40.2-vanilla the performance is bad but not atrocious. on 0.40.3-extended, the performance is atrocious.

Hello,
The main issue affecting me has been the load times, since I have a very
deeply GOP'd patch suite (16 instances of one module) that currently takes
over 15 minutes to open. Tonight I have benchmarked a selection of Pd-E
releases with just one GOP-heavy module of this suite to try to narrow down
when this began.
Here are the results, from clicking off the entered object text to
appearance of the GOP GUI:
Pd 0.41-4 21 secs
Pd-E 20080622 85 secs
Pd-E 20080601 110 secs
Pd-E 20080528 91 secs
Pd-E 20080522 108
Pd-E 20080518 29 secs
Pd-E 20080418 32 secs
Pd-E 20080110 34 secs
So, it seems that the breaking point was between 5-18 and 5-22, which
seems about right to me. I'm out of energy tonight, but tomorrow I'll
check the logs to see what changed in those 3 days.

i just tried it without preferences or .pdrc file, and got the same thing.
.. and on 0.41.4-vanilla the performance is exactly the same as
0.40.2-vanilla.

It seems there was a similar report a while back, but with no example
patch:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1839447&group_id=55736&atid=478070
"when opening a patch, the screen takes a little while to show--first all
the objects show up, then after almost 1/2 second the connections show.
after doing something--eg hitting cmd-s, it takes some time for the
system
to be ready for the next action: hitting eg cmd-1 or cmd-e directly
doesn't
do anything. wait a second, and it works again.
this was not the case in earlier autobuilds (march this year).
pd ext-40-03 recent autobuilds on osx 10.4.x (both on .8 and on recently
upgraded .10)"

Using this example patch with Pd-extended 0.40.3-extended-20080627 on my
3rd gen MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.11/Intel, there is no noticable
difference in load time when compared to Pd 0.41-4. It is slower for
dragging, so I'll look into that. But it is far from atrocious on my
machine it is quite usable, just a bit of a lag makes it feel somewhat
heavy.
I am using the default preferences. Have you tried removing your
prefereneces? Also what version of Mac OS X are you on?
I'll test on older G4 today.
