normally they are just fast and fine and everything

what hardware are you using ??

i remember the old days, when i did a simple sampler with automatic 
pitch-shifting (so samples would be "in tune") et bla bla with, say, 20 
arrays (tabread4~ which is way more expensive than tabread can ever be 
(well, i know you could prove me wrong, but this is just braindead) on a 
pentium-100.
the only problem then was this [fiddle~] thing for analysis that neally 
rendered the patch unusable on that hardware. but NO problem with tables 
at all !
[fiddle~] now uses near to nothing, do you think the tables have 
suddenly become hungry ???


do it as you like/can and if the patch turns eat up all the resources (i 
have used patches with 95%-cpuload on public installations without 
problems, though i wouldn't recommend this on windos) then(!) think 
about optimizing.
believe me, your tables (or whatever) will not be the problem.
