Provided you have narrowed to CPU consumption down to Pd's two software
components using the top unix command or your OSes cpu meter, you could
try running the patch with -noaudio or DSP turned off and see
if the CPU consumption is in the audio part of your patch.

Alterantively see if the problem persists without your
single-board-computer sending data.

best, P
