[PD] GEM causes soung glitches

[Antoine Villeret]

hi Luiz,

I recently heard that for certain scenario Pd-extended is more CPU
expensive than the same in pure vanilla. (a friend of mine reported that on
RPi)
Maybe you could try to reduce the number of extended objects to the
strictly minimum.
It's worth it most of the time.

Best

Antoine
