[PD] -rt flag and shell scripts

[rat at telecoma.net]

hi,

maybe somebody can comment on that:

the intention for the -rt flag for the patch i use was 
to reduce noise which i got because of heavy data sorting
by a shell script which provides the data for the patch.

by now using the -rt flag it even gets worse, the somtimes noise
mutated to dropouts + heavy clicks.

i call the shell scripts via the shell external.
is it possible that the execution of the scripts is 
given priority because of calling them from pd -rt ?
if yes would there be a way around this ? 

merci

erich
