anyone found a way around 4-5 second latency in read from process?

Thanks Bernard, good tips... I am experiencing this delay compared to running the same command in Terminal in OS X... I have also tried changing the idleRate but that doesn't seem to affect "read from process". Perhaps an external is the best solution.
