Some CPU behavior (with example), need clarify.

Hi folks.

Found recently little thing that seems strange cause CPU eating.
But I'll warn right away - I not exactly good in Live knowledges, since it's still my second DAW. So, perhaps this CPU impact not strange at all (?).

Example for reproduce:

Ableton pack "64 Pad Lab by Mad Zach", you can download it here https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/64-pad-lab/
From his Drum Racks folder, load drum rack "Hollow Point - 64 Pad Lab.adg"

During play, i found that some of single drums cause CPU loading up to 15%.
For example, one of them "clap smacker", placed in G4 (79) cell in rack.
Then i start to removing in "return chain list" all links for detecting what most eat cpu, and found that this was "side chain bus". He is the only one add 10% (from idle) for cpu when just play oneshot sample.

But what the reason ? Is this normal ?
