[PD-dev] slowing down dsp function inside perform loop

[Eric Lyon]

Greetings,

Is there anything in Pd comparable to MaxMSP's defer_low() mechanism? As I
understand it, defer_low() will force a function to proceed at a more
leisurely pace to assure that it doesn't crowd out the highest-priority DSP
operations. In terms of observed performance, when the function in question
was run with a regular function call in MaxMSP, it resulted in all kinds of
horrible glitching in the audio playback. After running it through
defer_low() everything worked quite smartly. In Pd, running the function
with a regular function call simply crashes Pd after a few seconds of
operation.


TIA,
Eric
