Hi, I'm getting a slow-but-steady climbing CPU when running some synthesis patches. I (like the poster below) have sub-modules that can be switch~ed on and off. An archive search turned up the following un-replied post: > Hi all > > Okay. I'm stumped. > > Recently, I've noticed that my cpu meter has been steadily rising.

Does anybody have any insight on this? I don't remember this happening until fairly recently, but don't know if it dates to when I started switch~ing modules. I'm currently running 0.39.2-extended RC1 on a MacBook Pro.
