Coll is taking years to instantiate and pins my cpu. gives me the 

evil spinny rainbow button. I guess I just never noticed before.

instantiating 20 colls= approx 2.9 seconds pbG4

I was hoping to do this with each new "track" in my program. but 10 

seconds for creating 3 tracks is unacceptable.

On a 1.5 GHz PB, running OSX.4.8, and MaxMSP 4.5.7, I get the same 

behavior, but under 4.6.2 things are fine.

do you load the files referenced by the coll-names at startup? if 

not, use a second non-zero argument to prevent coll to go looking for 

the file, thus spending a _loooong_ time stepping through your search- 

does this patch still take that long to load?

path for *each* instance of coll.

YEAH! somehow I was stuck on the idea that it was allocating 

memory. this makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE!!!!!!!

jasch, as if you objects weren't help enough, you're service is

greatly appreciated.
