Hello,
From my experience most if not all the basic UGens in SC are very
efficient so I suppose it comes down to how you use them - things like
running a group of synths through a single effect/filter process
instead of spawning the effect with each SynthDef.
What code are you trying to optimize? The obvious tip is to use .kr
UGens instead of .ar UGens where possible but maybe you trade some
sound quality or maybe it isn't practical or makes little difference
in some situations.
Other tips include not running your server at 192KHz with 16 sample
block sizes :) Of course the best joke of all is to suggest buying a
new computer but you may just end up with more cores which just
complicates things and isn't very funny.
Good luck,
kernel
