<pre wrap="">cool.
please note that pd-dev has the same netiquette as pd-list, that e.g.
asks you to not hijack another thread for your unrelated postings.

<pre wrap="">yes.
relate the time spent writing one solution (including learning to
actually do it plus doing big-fixes) to its relevant benefits (does it
work? what's the performance? is it portable? ...) and compare the
scalars you get for the various solutions <span class="moz-smiley-s1"

Ok, but what I mean is also if there's some rule of thumb? My
impression for example is that significant changes are only when
dealing with signals or arrays (unless you're doing some really heavy
heavy maths)?<br>
Also, which would me a good method for measuring?<br>
