[PD] saving state of a patch

[Phil Stone]

Hi Atte,

Now that you're on your way with sssad, there's a nice trick you should 
know.  If you find that loading a preset causes dropouts, consider using 
a ram disk to hold your presets during performance.  This solved all my 
dropout problems, and it's easy to do (I can post a script for OS X if 
anyone wants it).
