yeah that's what i said about two years ago...

the problem is, at the moment tcl/tk is embedded quite deeply into Pd 
itself. this is a focus of the current pd-dev effort: trying to clear this 
up. tcl/tk in itself isn't _necessarily_ slow, it's just that the way Pd is 
using it is not at all optimised (for example, as Hans-Christoph and i 
discovered once, when you click-drag to move an element in a graphical 
table, not just the element you moved but _the entire table_ is redrawn, 
each time).
