Why is Live 4 (-.14) so incredibly CPU-heavy?

By comparison with DP 4.5, Live is so unbelievably CPU-heavy I'm almost unable to use it, having to fight it all the time simply to run a reasonable amount of VI and audio tracks on a 2x2 G5 with 3.5gb RAM. I'm astounded and moderately furious ...

I imagine Live 5, with its freeze-tracks function, should help, but am I dealing with really funky slothlike code here or something? I assume 5 will run under Tiger and at least pick up a little 64-bit help?

Or not?
