If this is a statement, provide an example patch to show the problem, if 

this is a question, create the same example patch and it will answer it

If this is a statement, provide an example patch to show the problem, if 
this is a question, create the same example patch and it will answer it 
without the need to ask anybody...

I think I understand your question. You want to know whether user interface objects still use cpu if they are hidden, right?

It's quite easy to test this. Make a lot of numboxes and update them with a metro. Increase the metro rate until your patch uses a lot of cpu (simply use a cpumeter to check this), then compare when the numboxes are hidden.

I'm curious what your results are. I personally expect that hidden numboxes use a bit less cpu than visible ones, but still a considarable amount compared to when you send the metro-generated values to a similar amount of [i ] objects.

thanks. Stefan, sorry, it was a typo and was meant as a question. If i knew how to get my answer without posting i would have done so.
