The time available to compute a 128 sample block is about 2.5ms. If Chris’s estimate is indeed the max performance we can get, these message passes are eating away about 2% of the time available for each script node instantiated. If you want to leave say 75% of the time available to actual signal calculations, you can at most instantiate about a dozen script nodes I think. Since the message passing needed is now synchronous, it seems to me to be both possible as well as useful to have this overhead taken out. Chris W should confirm, but I don’t think this overhead applies to the new design at all. There is no “message passing” associated with onaudioprocess in the new proposal as each event dispatch is a synchronous invocation within the audio thread. …Joe . . . . . ...Joe Joe Berkovitz President Noteflight LLC Boston, Mass. phone: +1 978 314 6271 www.noteflight.com "Your music, everywhere"
