**I was unable to set the buffer to 512 using the PreSonus Firebox (it only lets you choose latency). The closest I could get to 512 was 536 and 448 (12ms latency, 10ms latency) so i would allow for some fudge room of about 1% to the meter reading below to compare apples to apples with your systems.

536 buffer:

1 ) Ableton Live CPU Meter % - 25%
2 ) Laptop/Desktop? Make/Model? - Open Labs Miko TIM
3 ) Operating System? - Windows XP Home SP2 running underneath the Open Labs "shell"
4 ) Ableton Live version? Live 8.0.4
5 ) CPU Make, Model, and Speed? - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4ghz
6 ) Amount of Ram? - 4 gigs (not sure if its DDR2 or 3)
7 ) Soundcard (and driver version if you know it)? - PreSonus Firebox driver v1.20
8 ) Hard Disk Drive Speed (if you know)? 7200 rpm
9 ) Number of playback tracks? 8

and just for fun...
16 tracks - 40%
24 tracks - 57%
32 tracks - 74%
40 tracks - dropouts :|
