[PD] pd macosx

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I guess its hard for me to tell what degree of slowness you are talking  
about.  On a slower machine, OSX's GUI will be a bit sluggish.  Tcl/Tk  
is slower than standard OSX apps, but Jamie Tittle has done a lot to  
help that.  I have a PowerBook G4 800, so definitely not a screamer.   
The GUI is a bit sluggish, but totally usable.  But it does not slow  
down the rest of my apps when I run Pd (unless its swapping or  
something).

But if its not usable, or its painful, then there is probably something  
wrong.  Also, the version of 0.39 that I put out is an early test  
release.  Either use Miller's Pd-0.39-1, or Pd-0.38.4-extendedRC2.app
