    Have you tried this yet?

    Should give you a little more boost if you have a Quad Core CPU.

    That aud.ini tweak really did the trick for me. I can't believe I missed it first time around. I was seeing core 1 on quad system doing all the work with the other 3 barely moving. I was also gettiing clicks and pops at low latency with 8.3.1 at about 35% cpu use (on core 1). Since that tweak all 4 cores are now being used and I've gotten this system to near 60% cpu use on a project and no more clicks and pops at about 3ms of latency. This is under XP 32. You should see this mutha on Win 7! Can't wait for 10/22.

    I also install the 8.5 yesterday as well and I received better CPU usage as well.  I have quad core and I opened a Sonar 7 created song and I said WOW to myself when I noticed that the cpu monitors barely moved.

    Peace,

    I noticed that too but with each upgrade seems to come different results. I'm almost at the point where I don't trust what those meters are telling me anymore.

    I watch the windows CPU meters if I want to know what is really happening. On my Quad the core loading is very close to even when viewed from the Task Manager. Overall 8.3.1 and 8.5 have both been stable for me.
