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

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Eric,
currently there's no low-priority messaging in Miller's pd version,  
but there is in the devel branch.
It's one of the features that have been there for some time and i'm  
trying to provide a patch for Miller, so that it can make it into  
vanilla PD some time in the future. Hopefully the auto-discard  
mechanism of the patch tracker will blow up before that time. Don't  
expect the feature to be available soon.

all the best,
Thomas
