I've read further and searched the archives of the list.

Is this related to denormals?

Isn't pd now handling denormals correctly? (that is, avoiding them)
I mean vanilla 0.40.

I ask that because I've seen discussion dating back to 2003 about this 
issue. Is it still an issue?

Another thing I don't understand is why that is a problem only in pentium4: 
don't other processors have denormals as well?


thanks
m.

Subject: P4-optimized 0.40 vanilla precompiled for windows?


Hi,

I'm having the "CPU jumps after a while" problem. That is, the same patch
which at the beginning is consuming about 30% of CPU, after a while it is
running (and absolutely nothing changes in it, and I am totally sure this is
true) suddenly jumps to a CPU consumption over 70%.

I've read in the archives it is an issue specific to Pentium4, and that
there is an optimized version of PD that solves it.

Is there a 0.40.x pentium4-optimized version of pd-vanilla precompiled for
windows? If so, where can I find it?

Thanks a lot in advance
bye
m.

isn't the book describing a way to switch from a playing wave form to
a new one which starts at zero?

The example refers to re-triggering something like a percussion
sample - it is a way to fix the glitch resulting from suddenly
cutting off the 'old' sample (which is likely not at a zero-crossing)
and replacing it by a new one (which starts at zero). The flowchart
shows adding a signal ramping to zero from the last value of the
'old' sample.

That is: the whole example/technique described depends on the
assumption that the re-triggered sample starts from zero, it doesn't
make sense otherwise.
