intense CPU spikes/glitches with Live+Reason on windows

I had been suffering very occasional CPU spikes with 5.xx builds. usually when i first moved a Send.

However, last night with the latest beta, i started using Reason Rewired into Live b5. (live master - reason slave)
When i started to preview Rex files, i would get massive CPU spikes and the sound of the previewed file would sound distored with crackling/white noise.

if i previewed 10 rex files, 8 would distort and cause cpu spikes.

my CPU meter in live was around 18% normally then with spikes it would jump to 80+% and i would see jumps up to 170% (I am running HT CPU)

So there definitely is a problem here.

MOre likely Rewire/and or HT. I can try later wtih HT disabled....I had some NI plugs and i know that they have issues with HT, but i've used them fine before in LIve only.

my cpu is p4 3.4GHz with 1.5GB RAM. (XP Pro)

ANyone else seeing cpu spikes/sound distortions when running reason Rewire?
