Hi guys, I'm still a max msp newbie, currently working on a project (sonification of data) and the CPU usage is super high. is it because I'm using many buffer objects? I've tried and delete parts of the patch to find out where the problem is, but the CPU doesn't calm down ever.. Could anyone give me an indication on how to reduce it?

I've attached the subpatcher that i think is causing the problem.. although the audio files are not included i think you can get an idea.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

some abstractions in the patch attached are not included so I can't tell what the problem is. When I do "view->Show CPU usage", which is the best way to understand what the problem is, i get a print out in the console which seems reasonable: everything under 1% except for two pitchshift objects (5 and 7%). But I don't have any buffers playing. 

There are several ways of reducing CPU usage: one is to work with multiple mother patches communicating via sends or OSC, another one is to use parallel processing. To take advantage of the latter you might want to start using poly~ objects with abstractions inside. The poly~ takes argument @parallel 1 (but you also need to go to max preferences and check the box that allows for parallel processing to happen).

There are hundreds of posts addressing CPU management so you can also start looking at them....

high CPU usage... how can I reduce it??
