"The following article is designed to shed some light on the different priority levels of Max events. We will cover low priority events, high priority events, threading issues related to these two priority levels, and when it is important and/or useful to move events from one priority level to the other. We will also cover the MSP audio thread and how it can interact with low and high priority events. And finally, we will touch on some additional threading issues that will be of interest to Javascript, Java and C developers."
