Hi Menno,

Thanks for identifying this performance issue.  I think blue2 will
have the same issue as I will be reusing code here, but by identifying
the issue I had not really known about it gives me something to work
on.  Please file this as a bug and I will address when I can.

Just an update: I am currently working on getting the score component
updated for blue2, and this will likely be the most complicated part
of the transition to Netbeans.  I think today I have figured out a way
to move ahead with something I was stuck on, but still will take a
little time.  My current plan is to finish the move to blue2 by the
time the Linux Audio Conference comes around in April.  Hopefully it
will not take so long, but I'm sure I'll need some help for a beta
testing period.  This pointer issue would definitely be something I'd
like to address before blue2 is out.

Also, were you using the API?  I'm wondering if there is a difference
in performance to use the API or not, as they use different mechanisms
for getting the time from Csound.

Thanks!
steven

p.s. - Is anyone here planning on going to the LAC?  I have a piece
accepted and paper I'll be doing with Jan Jacob, and would love to see
everyone there. :)
