[PD] pd speed performance in Windows 98 question?

[nullpointer]

Hi Jim,

I use Pd on winME and win95..
There is ultimately little that you can do about the latency issues..(faster
processor will help a little but i don't think that extra ram will really
help)
You could play with the audiobuffer variable to get better latency for your
midi timing but you will lose audio quality...You could try updating your
drivers for your midi/audio card..

I am running a 750 mhz machine but i still get pretty bad midi latency (as i
still do sometimes with Cubase e.t.c.) The new version of pd is supposed to
have better midi timing i think (miller will know) but without really
windows custom drivers i thini you are going to have to live with it or
create a workaround...

Once i wrote a patch system that delayed the whole audio output to DAC by
the Midi latency (adjustable by the user) to tie the two together in some
way, but oviously this isn't very good for any live work...

hope this helps
