[PD] [PD-announce] Pd-0.40.3-extended-rc2 released

[Matthew Logan]

So it's not just XP then.  It makes it hard to even build a patch, because
I'm afraid of using GOP.
Start-up of the program itself is no issue.  The slow-down occurs whenever I
open my main working patch.  It took about 30-45 sec before (last released
pd-extended package).  Now it takes 5 1/2 minutes ( I timed it just now).
Everytime I edit a section of it, things take a long time to regen as well.
I have some GOPs nested in other GOPs, so I was wondering if it had to do
with that.  I can't think of anything in particular that might cause it, but
his is what I'm experiencing.
