I think I just ran a bunch of messages through it and checked with [cputime].

Ah, that should be even faster, thanks for pointing it out.

Yeah, they require the rj library.

This is normally provided by the RjDj app, so it's not part of the lib. It's available here
https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib/tree/master/pd/

The other errors are harmless (I think, the help file still have some
mono/stereo bug)
