as stated before in this thread, denormals can slow down the computation on the fpu. the problem is not as big, when compiling the binary to use the sse unit, though (btw, this is the default, when compiling for x86_64) pd devel_0_39 did also set the DAZ/FTZ flags, which affect the denormal handling on the sse unit, but that was never merged into vanilla pd hth, tim -- [email protected] http://tim.klingt.org Only very good and very bad programmers use goto in C
