Btw-- even for the size 1000 array above, part of the cpu usage and sluggishness is caused by whatever computations pd is doing before sending the message to the gui to create the next rectangle (see my message earlier in this thread). So my example isn't exactly comparing tcl/tk speed to pd computation speed-- it's more like comparing a slightly bad apple to a much worse apple. In both cases I think the significant "sluggishness" digits are due to whatever pd is doing between message
sends.

while no one has time to work on the real problem behind (described by Jonathan), I would suggest a hack solution: instead of a copy of an image (as suggested by someone), just turn the display off while the selection is moving? doesnt' solve the real issue, but avoids some dropouts/slugishness.
