Hmm, what do you mean "the default"?  Is it loading all the libs by
default because you copied Hans' pd preferences as per  the
instructions?  Those prefs are really just meant to test everything
out, not for day to day usage.  I know there's a way to get multiple
entries on the same line but I can't remember what it is - sorry!  But
if it's loading all those libraries on startup, that's going to take
up a lot of resources that could be put to good use otherwise.  For
example, you don't want to load Gem (3d graphics lib) if you're only
doing audio work.  My advice would be to erase everything, start
fresh, and add libs to the "Startup" dialog as you need them.

so I know there are a couple of those libraries I am not using at

You can put more entries in the startup flag field by adding "-lib
whateverlib" to it.

good luck
