[PD] Pd-extended 0.42.5 release candidate 6 released!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Pd-extended is the GUI and pdextended is Pd itself.  pd/pdextended  
will use 15% of the CPU because it polls the audio when idle.  So its  
kind of like "reserving" 15% of the CPU for its use.  You can make it  
"reserve" basically all the CPU if you use the -nosleep option.

If you want to reduce the CPU usage, you can use Jack, then it usually  
goes down to 2-3%.  The Jack I/O uses callbacks so it doesn't have the  
sleep, as far as I understand it.
