started up very quickly. I haven't figured out if this is a change in MacOs<br>
or in Pd.<br>
<br>
And yes, the owing Pd instance has to wait for the sub-process to get running,<br>
so that will freeze it for a few seconds.<br>
<br>
It migth help to clear out unneeded "libraries" (start the subprocess with<br>
-noprefs and explicitly add the ones you want). Also it will always speed<br>
things up to run the sub-process "-no-gui" whenever you don't need to see it.<br>
