iZotope Nectar 1.1 and Sonar X1 (64-bit)???

Has anyone tried the new 1.1 version of iZotope's Nectar in Sonar X1 - x64?  I evaluated the product when it first came out, but found it unusable with higher bit rate projects; it brought my hefty DAW to it's knees when I tried any preset that used the vocal doubler - big time CPU hog.  Couple that with the fact that manual pitch correction didn't work in Sonar 64 bit - it wasn't worth the discounted price to me.  If they have indeed addressed the CPU utilization problem - I'm interested; if they fixed manual pitch correction in x64 as well - I'm sold (even at the full price)!

Dan

P.S.  If I get a chance to test it out in the next few days - I'll answer my own question.  Take care.

    I have yet to get it to work in manual mode on my 64 bit system. Works well in auto mode though. I have 3 instances of it in a project that I'm working on and haven't noticed any significant CPU impact.

    I have used it in auto mode to great success.  I did notice it was a resource hog when it was pushed.
    I really like the nectar plug in. Great for a pro sound on vocals.

    I use it and haven't had any problem with CPU. I will say that I'd get major lag spikes when turning certain things off or on. The new 1.1 seems to have made that a lot better but it still chunks on certain things. 

    I saw a video where loading necter through jbridge would get the manual correction to work, but I never got it working. And I bought jbridge just for it :(

    The cliff notes for 1.1 specifically mention that the doubler is far more efficient with the CPU.

    Here SONAR X1 64 bits and izotope plugins 64 bits. And Nectar (even without pitch correction) and Ozone = very high cpu consuming. Is that normal??

    Ozone consumes quite a bit of CPU, depending on what you're doing. I don't notice it so much because of my rig, but ozone is intended to be used in mastering not mixing, so you really should have multiple instances of it running.
