There is a bug in the prefs loading of Pd in general where it'll peg the CPU while loading for a bit unless you specify npath and nloadlib. Perhaps it is related to that?
Right now would be a good time to download and try a nightly build. AFAIK, there aren't any outstanding bugs. I just installed today's build and ran it in Windows XP in an emulator (Parallels) on top of Mac OS X, and it started up almost instantly. .hc On Jun 22, 2008, at 12:13 PM, João Pais wrote: > Hi, > > going back to the subject of the long loading time of patches: > before I > suspected that it was due (besides some difference in the newer > version) > to several nested gops. that's not the case, as after switching off > the > gops it still takes as long (or maybe slightly less, but still too > long). > > Ah, and I think I didn't say: while all this time the patch is > loading, > cpu is at 100%. > > XP, Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20080603 > > > Or was there already improvements in this area?
