well, the big problem is not the speed of the gui, but the speed of the
communication between dsp core and gui ...

i don't care, if the gui takes 5 minutes to update the display of a 5
minutes buffer, unless i have a 5 minutes audio dropout ;-)

of course, if we would have a single process, multi-threaded pd without
any socket communication, we wouldn't have to send data over a socket
connection, that kills latency ... inter-thread communication is _much_
faster than inter-process communication using a network socket ...

but i'm not a gui programmer ...

cheers ... tim
