yes.  same poor performance for me on a pismo powerbook.  i'm getting 
close to finding the issue, which i think affects all powerbooks 
running pd.  a friend inadvertently discovered that his adb mouse was 
causing the dropouts on his tower, and removing the mouse solved the 
problem.  powerbooks happen to use adb for the keyboard and trackpad. 
if pd is doing input polling in the same thread as audio then it 
might be getting hung up waiting for the very slow adb bus.  i need 
to locate a mac with both adb and usb (a blue and white g3 for 
example) to test this further.

also, i need to hear from other powerbook users running pd to help 
narrow down the problem.  otherwise it might just be a problem for 
pismo users in the chicago area. ;)
