CPU usage with disabled plugs in 4.0.2

Hi,

I still have CPU load with plug-ins (VST and AU) disabled in 4.0.2. It's the same as it was with 4.0.1: 19% CPU use at a standstill with about 6-8 disabled plugs on 8 channels and 3 returns each. I'm on a 1.25 Aluminum powerbook with OSX10.3.5 and 768 mb RAM.

This is a problem for me...I'd like to use this setup as my default template, but I run into CPU problems when I start enabling plugs (CPU spikes which don't register on the meter cause stuttering audio.

Interestingly, with 4.0.2 I had a 0% CPU load with a set with no plugs loaded, but with 4.0.3 I get a 1% CPU load.

Thanks,
Phil

Now that I read the 4.0.2/4.0.3 bugfix list more carefully, it says a problem with plug-in INSTRUMENTS has been fixed. I have Absynth, Zebra, Simpler, and Impulse bypassed in the mentioned set, and I actually get the same CPU usuage in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 with enabling and disabling the instruments. Even in 4.0.1 the CPU is lower with them bypassed. But I still have 19% CPU usage with everything bypassed.

I'll try 4.0.3, but imagine it'll be the same.
