[PD] OSX-intel extended Audiio droputs

[Matt Barber]

Hello,

Please run "top" from the command-line as well to see how much CPU PD
is really taking up.  On our macbooks here, and also on our G4
powerbook, both PD vanilla and extended have been running at about 50%
CPU just by loading the program, but that isn't shown in PD's load
meter.  We have had some success with turning off airport - in some
cases we get back down to 5% or so just having PD running with airport
disabled.  There were some posts over in the supercollider list about
the same problem -- running 70% CPU just by booting the server, but
then having some success (down to 1%-2%) once airport was turned off.
Are you on a laptop?  If so, it's at least something to try.


Thanks,

Matt
