[PD] Startup times to run Pd patch on Raspberry Pi

[Yann Seznec]

Hi everyone, long time reader first time writer.

I’m wondering what people’s experiences are with regards to the startup time for running a patch on a raspberry pi.

For various reasons I’ve started to use Patchbox OS to auto-run my patches on startup, which is very reliable and consistent however it usually takes about 60 seconds from switching on to making sound. This is on various models of Raspberry Pi 3. 

Has anyone managed to speed this up? I haven’t tried the Raspi 4, perhaps that is significantly faster?

Thanks,
Yann
