note however, that the pd-gui task is relatively small compared to the
pd-core (a lot of gui-stuff is really evaluated in the pd-core). so your
performance gain might not be as big as you think when running pd and
pd-gui on 2 separate machines.
it should however be useful if you want to run 2 instances of pd on
different machines and control them separately (this is: not with
[netsend]/[netreceive]) from one monitor/mouse/keyboard - like 2
applications.
