[PD] Fwd: [coll] bug

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

one of my messages didnt go to the list, it was too big...

let me adaot and resend it

Tests in Max that stand out:

yes, I've checked that too... Max never chokes on the audio processing.

See, always confusing to me when determinacy is mentioned... that's not how
it happens in Max if I understand it... In Max it takes a while (until the
file read is ready) for the outlet to send a bang, it doesn;t go out
"immediately" as in the unthreaded version in cyclone, where it causes
audio drop outs

well, I tested opening a file with 300k entries in Max 7 and got no audio
crash/choke... it loaded the file fine, taking a bit under 500ms and the
audio wasn't interrupted. I also had a block size of 1 and audio I/O of 32
samples, highest CPU consuming setting possible, it was around 13%

see image attachment

I was also sending the file attached, but that's why my message got
rejected...
