hey everyone-
i was curious about the performance of the hammerfall laptop dsp under mac,
so i asked one of the max/msp listers about it. here's what came back:

msp is still using the old audio architecture under mac. but its nice to
know that the linux camp is flying by at ~1ms. tee hee!
on an OT: im looking for contract software development work in the NYC area
or remotely, to help support me while i scheme on my live looper. my
portfolio is http://www.geocities.com/jipekau .. thanks.
