[PD] Maybe I'm pushing dynamic object creation too far

[Ed Kelly]

Well, the concert was a success. The dynamic notation system worked perfectly 
(almost) but the audio patch had some problems.
Video will be posted on my blog soon, but I want to know about the audio patch.

It takes incoming sound, records it into a buffer, and dynamically creates 
[table] objects for each event in a pd subpatch, then copies the data from the 
input buffer into each table when each event is finished (i.e. when the next 
event starts) using the maxlib [arraycopy] object. Events are logged using 
[bonk~].

I get dropouts, regardless of the jack buffer size/buffers number. Is this 
because the dynamic creation of a new object interrupts the pd audio stream? If 
so, can this be alleviated - 1. is it a GUI problem (and will pd 0.43 fix it) 
and 2. if so, can pd -nogui sort it out?
