One problem is that one gets a lot of printouts: [chuck](VM): removing shred: 32 (spork~exp)... When using <<< ... >>>, printouts cause a slight delays, that at least on a slow machine may make fast keyboard playing impossible.

That's a good point. I can't look into this right now as I'm packing for a livecode/jam session.

I also checked (I think) that it wasn't due to CPU overloads. They seem to be due to delays in the program. So if you have a live performance with some rapid movements and delays are a problem, make sure to turn off as much printouts as possible.

I think you may be able to stop ChucK from printing those by tweaking the "verbose" commandline flag but I'm not sure about that.

Thank you. I was starting to think along those lines. But the default should be that all such printouts are turned off, and turned on in a debug mode. Hans
