[PD] Maximizing Efficiency

[marius schebella]

very good point,
would it be possible to have a standardized measure-procedure for objects,
and write down the cost of cpu-time of all (or some important) objects in a
list?
i think it is not difficult to measure, but very difficult to compare
different cpu, systems, soundcards...
for the meantime, william, you can use the dsp-object, which could bring you
a little forward.
