[PD] performance on osX

[bsoisoi]

Its PortAudio running through CoreAudio.  If you use Jack on OS X,  
you'll see your % usage decrease
significantly.  I can easily cut my CPU usage in half by using Jack on  
OS X.  I've also seen notable decreases when using cycling74's  
soundflower.

On a similar note, if you happen to be using a firewire audio  
interface, you're cpu usage will be even higher!
