Alexander has put together a blog post about this week’s Jamoma workshop:

It has been very productive, not only in the bug fixing and brainstorming departments, but also for optimization. We have a large MSP/Jamoma patch that was running over 100% CPU early in the week, cut down to 80% a couple of days ago, and now is down to 30%.

It now actually seems possible to have the 0.5 release by the end of the year. Keep your fingers crossed…
