puh ... i just figured out, that my performance patch fills the symbol
table with more than 10000 unique (!!!) symbols ... plus one additional
symbol every second due my badly designed clock...

i'd strongly suggest to enlarge the hash-table any try to find a better
solution for symbols ...

also ... after loading pd itself 397 symbol symbols are in use ...
after including my .pdrc file 4400 are in use (more than twice the
size of the hashtable) ... without loading any patch ...
