That's a lot of heavy lifting, I would try maxing out your ram though, 1 gig
is pretty small if you're running the latest version of osx, if you're
running a macbook pro you should be able to upgrade to at least 2 gigs if
not 4 gigs of ram. I'm running the intel mac book pro with 4 gigs of ram and
csound is working in realtime for me. I do tend to use Linux for realtime
csound since I can use a really lightweight desktop like gnustep and then
have 95% of system resources dedicated directly to csound.
