Yes, it takes more time to copy the bytes from one buffer into another
and then send them to another object. If [dumpOSC] does what you want,
you should keep using it. Also [unpackOSC] doesn't handle bundles
efficiently (it's copying the same buffer recursively -- and I haven't
even tested it :( ). I need to work on that a bit more but then I don't
know if anyone actually uses bundles. Also timetags are in the future...
And of course if you need the speed it's best to hardcode a program in c
or assembler.
