Reason Rewire produces latency with External Instrument

Hi,

since version 7 I have switched to using External Instruments for rewiring Reason to Live. Now I have a problem:
I set up two NN-XT devices in Reason and two corresponding External Instruments in Live. Both hooked up correctly, I can play them from Live, happy days. Then I record MIDI into each track, a simple 4 bar phrase.

When I play back both tracks, looped, after a short while the second track (whichever I triggered secondly) falls behind and gets out of sync. I have no idea why, the CPU load is below 30 %.

My configuration is:
MacBook 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, OS 10.4.11
Ableton Live 7.0.2, Reason 4.0.1

Your help is much appreciated!

Cheers
Jost

Wow! I was hoping the rewire issues between Live and Reason were suppose to be taken care of with verson 7.

Important addition:
This doesn't happen with any device or set-up in general. With other sets I haven't had problems so far, the set-up causing problems is two NN-XTs with the initial piano patch.

I didn't have problems with rewiring Live 6 with Reason, neither Live 7.

I'm on PC. A lot of these issues seem to be intel mac users running dual core processors - this is an observation rather than proven fact b4 the flaming starts.
