Hi there, 

also frequent and irregular audio clicks on mac OSX 10.6.8, no matter how big 
the delay time is set to in the audio properties. (Tested with 'test audio/midi 
patch'  @ SR 44100 and 48000 Hz with built-in audio, portaudio).
 
also, [cputime] appears not to work.

(pd-0.43.1-extended-20120218-macosx105-i386)
