you obviously would do the patching *before* you switch to freeze mode...

that would certainly not be a bad idea (though i don't know how to make
use of the data *right now*).

debugging socket issues is mostly a tricky business.
debugging socket issues on machines without access to, is almost impossible.

so far i think the data point is:
if too much traffic is happening in Pd's receiver socket, it can stall
the GUI updates.
afaict, audio processing is not affected (is that correct?)

it might also be interesting to know whether the CPU is idling around or
busy doing "things" when that problem happens (and how the CPU load is
distributed on the cores).
