If an object doesn't have a visual representation, i.e. its not drawn
on a canvas, then it won't have a Tcl/Tk representation at all, so
the slow GUI stuff doesn't apply to things that aren't visible. That
includes non-visible GUI objects.

I was under the impression that starting pd without the gui would

assoicated with the gui such as gui object generation. I have some
objects in my rc-patches that
build the object based on its creation args such as [rc-seq 16 4]
makes 16 toggle boxes with 4 beat
divisions. Now if I have a bunch of these it slows down the
loading of my patch considerably, which
I understand ... but it also slows down loading in -nogui mode
which I don't. So is -nogui mode doing all
of the tk work but just not drawing the window?
The main problem is this makes patch loading realllyyy slow on my
performance computer, PIII 500. So I'm going to actually
rebuild all of the songs using static objects instead of dynamic
ones ... which is too bad because the
flexibility of the dynamic objects was nice when creating the song
initially. So is that my only option
for now, or is there some super trick I haven't noticed?
