Hi, the [expr] object does the parsing once, at object construction time,
so I would like to know why you say that.

Besides, I also thought that [inlet]/[outlet] have some overhead because
the message system is interpreted. Those objects also have a "dsp" handler
defined so it appears as if it is not being optimised-out. Are you sure
about this one?

I've had a quick look at pd/extra/expr~/ and pd/src/g_io.c; i don't know
whether that's enough...
