if you load a large soundfile with [soundfiler], while you are playing
some music, you will hear a (short or long - depends on the soundfile
size) audio drop out - because loading takes quite some time and will so
block pd's main thread.
In [sndfiler] the loading is done in a helper thread - so it will be a
little bit longer, but shouldn't block audio ...

yes - the size is much bigger ... (don't remember now the exact nr.)
but anyway, that's only a define and can be changed ...
