had the same phenomenon with midi controls and a heavy gem patch  
recently. i solved the situation with a workaround: two instances of  
pd on the same machine, one receiving the MIDI data from the faders  
and redirecting it to netsend localhost. the second instance of pd  
was running the gem patch, controlled by the netreceive data. this  
was on os x though.
