Hi All,

I had a thought this morning for a possible optimization.  It's an
idea that I first came across in the Java world, which is to use a
threaded logger to do all messages.  The reason for this is that IO is
generally expensive (or at least can be if writing out to console), so
instead of directly writing out messages get posted to the logger
which is running in it's own thread, so that in Csound, it can post
the message and then get back to doing it's audio processing.

I noticed with the new parser which has a *lot* of messages currently
that it can take a while to get to the point where csound actually
runs, but if I pipe the output to disk instead of console, it's really
take only a very small fraction of that time.  I think if it was
threaded, it might get the same advantage in time.

Any thoughts?
steven
