[PD] CPU load

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

RAM could have something to do with it if you use so much that it 
causes swapping.  Check out your memory usage using top or Process 
Viewer.  You can see free memory and swap usage there.  Also, are you 
running pd as root using -realtime?  That will also help by elevating 
the priority of the Pd process.
