As I understand it, defer_low() will force a function to proceed at a more leisurely pace to assure that it doesn't crowd out the highest-priority DSP operations. In terms of observed performance, when the function in question was run with a regular function call in MaxMSP, it resulted in all kinds of horrible glitching in the audio playback. After running it through defer_low() everything worked quite smartly. In Pd, running the function with a regular function call simply crashes Pd after a few seconds of operation. <BR><BR><BR>TIA,<BR>Eric<BR><BR><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">PD-dev mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:PD-dev@iem.at">PD-dev@iem.at</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px"><BR></P><DIV>------------------------------------------------------------------------</DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Tahoma; min-height: 14.0px; font-family: Tahoma; "><BR style="font-family: Tahoma; "></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> <SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></SPAN>¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!</FONT></P><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
