</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, I think so.<br><br>Advancing time, which is what you are doing, gives other shreds a chance to run but it also means this shred will only get the cpu back in a while.<br><br>The difference is likely academic but if OSC messages would be flooding in faster then you are advancing time the cue would pile up and latency (or worse) would follow.<br>
</div></div><br>The core concept here is that "samp => now" does two things;<br>a) hand the cpu to other shreds<br>b) make the next bit of code execute in a while (likely a 44K'th of a second here)<br><br>
me.yield() only does the first of the two and not the second.<br><br>The issue is that while it may look like ChucK is aimed towards parallel-processing it's in fact very much focussed on making multiple processes take turns sequentially. What we are dealing with here is (amongst other issues) this exact sequence.<br>
