[PD] pd and multi-core processors

[tim vets]

has anyone been using pd~ successfully ?
I am trying it out, but i get very poor results.
It seems like a patch loaded with pd~ is a lot heavier than the same loaded
as a regular abstraction (DIO errors, see also my message "pd~ and DIO
errors").
I assumed it would run on another processor core...but does it?
Is there a way to check this?
thanks!
