<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a little general question for change
:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what are the "biggest" (performance) differences
using PD on windoze or linux</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm (at the moment) mostly interest on audio
analyzing and visual creating (GEM)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>This depends a lot on the flavor of window$
you're running,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>on 95/98/ME, i can tell it's a total mess
because </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>the scheduler is so unpredictable that PD
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>can loose control at any
moment.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PD is coded on linux and then ported to win,
right?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i will be still using PD on windose because of
framestein...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Communication between Framestein and PD is
made thru a socket,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>so you can control Framestein from another
machine running</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Linux. I will be better for the frame rate
in Framestein too.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>depends on the patches you're using. I ran
very simple ones</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>on a P200. You can always make a patch that
