    Hello forum!
    i'm here to ask you one litle thing!
    i'm building a patch in two computers and the cpu usage is very diferent in the two computers.
    So i'm asking you to download the patch and tell me the cpu usage and the computer description:
    The file is a *.mxf created in a PC Computer. i don't know if it works on mac! i hope so!
    My computers
    Desktop: PC Computer CPU Usage = 19% CPU: AMD Athlon FX53 @ 2.4 GHz RAM: 1GB (dual channel 512) soundcard: MOTU 896
    Notebook: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M1437g PC Computer CPU Usage = 50% CPU: Intel Pentium M @ 1.86 GHz RAM: 1GB soundcard: MOTU 896
    Thanks for your time and help!

      on a desktop computer, you will always get better performances and stability

      Hi Thanks for your reply.
      when i strat building the patch i think in [poly~] to save cpu usage. i'm not using poly 'cause the computer has to run all players at the same time. (if some one whant to use all players).
      The patch is not completed, and the parts missing will add more stuff to the cpu.
      well... my problem in cpu usage it's not the player (download the player.pat file to see)... (and if you want i can send you all the patch... unlocked)
      the cpu usage with one player only patch it is < 1%, so 10 players will use +- 10%... not 20.
      i think the problem is in the jit.cellbox object, because it is allways sending info in the left outlet.
      once again, thanks for your reply!

      I can't tell much about the CPU usage, but looking at your patch, it seems all your message passing could be done much much easier. It seems you don't know how to pass arguments to subpatchers, that way you could send commands to the subpatchers directly... If you have a [r #1] in the player patch and your main patch has an object [player p1] you can send messages to that specific player directly... That way you can get rid of 90% of your patch chords (and in/outlets) and probably 60% of your subpatchers.
      If you put a list like "p2 f 4 l 1 c play go 0" into the patch below it will send the list "f 4 l 1 c play go 0" directly to a receive element in the player with the argument p2 if there is a [r #1]. then you unpack/iter that list in the player... (no need for your comandbus_receivers subpatcher anymore for example)
      I agree, that in your case there is no need for using poly~ btw...
      Stefan
      save as sendfirst.pat
      P.S.
      If you need more than 9 inputs in a subpatcher, its time to think about better message passing... ;-)
