Is there some way to avoid stutters when reading soundfiles from disk?
Should something like "nice -n-20" make any difference when starting pd?
How many files can be open at once?
Why do some players (readanysf~, sfread~) but not others (oggread~, mp3play~) send cpu to 100% if I open a patch with several of them when pd is started with -rt ?

thanks for any hints
