do you need to always change the value of the incoming number?
if not, just use an initialization as such and store it for recall (bang it out from a list or coll).

other than that, i have no idea what you are attempting to do with this, so i can't be of more assistance.

why optimizing it? It contains mostly "+"-boxes that need almost no cpu.

If you want though you could use javascript. I don't think that you can ease the patch very much.

[jayemell]

FWIW, pushing somthing like this into JS will _not_ optimize in any way.
The only advantage is that it might feel more clean, but it will not offer you any significant performance improvement.

[julienb]

okay, you just confirmed what I thought

thanks for your opinion/advice!!

[jayemell]

JS operates almost exclusively at a lower priority than the high-priority scheduler thread.
JSUI is drawn at low priority only.

You can push items into the high priority queue from JS if you use a Task() object. This is the only option that I know of.
I would not recommend using Task objects for your use case, as you seem to want (although I'm just guessing here; you haven't offered much information on what your intention is) a multi-functional patch that would integrate into other patch modules.

For example, you could poll the values with a metro, which has more features and is easier to spot on a max level.
There are cases where I use Task objects, but they are usually specific to some exclusively JS-based function set where I need some things to operate at low priority and some that can be more immediate.

Hope this helps,
jml
