I think the performance under load on Mac OS X isn't so bad. But it does use a lot of CPU on idle, for whatever reason.
There are somethings that can be done to make things run better on Mac OS X. For example, on Mac OS X and Windows, Pd uses double- precision math functions while Pd only uses single-precision floats. If Pd used the single-precision functions, then things would probably use a bit less CPU. .hc On Feb 5, 2008, at 4:55 AM, Si Mills wrote: > Just a thought, but is everyone running in Jack mode or Portaudio > mode? and following on from that, would running in Jack mode be > subject to this iTunes eq crap?
