hi gabriel -

without going into details, i had a quick look at your code, and for me 
it looks well written and nothing obvious which can be optimized.

the main question for me is why you use csoundqt in this constellaion. 
if you run csound in terminal, you would certainly gain stability and 
performance.  we always had some CPU bottlenecks in csoundqt.  i 
nevertheless run some complex csd in csoundqt because i need the widgets 
(and it works), but as i said, i think for you it is different.

yes but just to be clear: i was not speaking about editing, but about 
running csound.  you can edit in csoundqt (or which IDE you like), but 
running the .csd file via command line is still such a nice thing.  just 
don't forget -odac ... =)
