(Almost) none. The drawing functions check if the patch is
visible, and if not, they don't send any drawing commands to the
GUI app. So you only pay for the additional check.<br>

A high metro rate obviously implies a higher CPU load than a low
metro rate. If the overall CPU load is significant depends on the
actual action triggered by the metro.<br>
