Hi, I have just begun making a buffer edit patch and find that one operation in particular ("Chop") seems to be taking far too long.

Here is the patch, further explanation of the patch is found below:

You'll want to go into the "CHOP" subpatch. This function is trying to repeat the given part of a region X amount of times. For example, divide the buffer into 16 regions, select one of those regions, then chop it with a value of 4 and the first quarter of the region gets repeated 4 times.

I believe its a problem with recursion since counter, which triggers uzi, gets counted through by uzi's "done" bang. But Max doesn't crash, it just takes an obscenely long time to perform the operation, much too long.

Thanks for any help. Let me know if you need clarification on anything.
