[PD] Setting a variable in abstractions

[simone-www.io-lab.org]

hi
I hope it s fine with top posting but the issue now is drifting off-topic:
the patch works as a charm now, thanks again, but (there is always a
but) somehow the incoming MIDI messages are slowed down.
I tried to monitor the MIDI in and can see how when i turn the
rendering on all the MIDI income gets slowed down terribly.
Is there any known issue with GEM and MIDI or anything i have to check
on my machine?
GEM+sending messages from within PD worked flawlessly, CPU is not
hogged, jack runs smoothly.
I am attaching the patch but without the font file generating the 7bit
midi value
