Thank you Antoine, this sounds interesting. Indeed, I use $1,$2.. to set labels, colors and values. I dont use it with my sensor values but for setting and updating the gui elements of the matrix instrument. Maybe I can start the patch with the -nogui option. Would that be a way to check if I do have this symbol-problem? What is the gensym-function? I havent heard of it. I will research a little bit!

This often happens when generating gui labels from sensor values or other high-resolution values. Things like [label bar:$1_beat:$2_tick:$3_ms:$4( or [symbol sensor:$1( can quickly build hundreds of thousands of symbols, that will stay registered forever. The symbol hash-table (hence the gensym() fonction) can become rather slow when too many symbols are registered.

My 1st guess : if the computer is becoming hot, the max CPU frequency is decreased by the hardware so the computer becomes slower.
