Filter Plugin possibly a power strain, and additional plugins to look out for?

A few months ago somebody posted a thread that had a list of stock plugins that were noted for draining CPU's and causing processor strains and stuff like that.
(sorry if this is all vague, i only remember the gist of it)

May somebody please give me the link to that thread and/or let me know if the stock modfilter is also on the list of drain-y plugins?
Everytime I use that plugin specifically it gives me a bunch of freezing problems and when viewing the task manager I notice that the CPU usage goes much higher when I'm automating with it (but it's fine with the other plugins).


thanks

    Anything with 64 in the name will likely use more CPU. But on a multi- core CPU its not much of a problem.

    ok it's not modfilter. i meant the "Aliasfactor" was messing things up for me.
    plus "Channel Tools" immediately stops working after I do anything and it gives the CPU issue too.


    but do you know the thread or any suggestion for solving this problem? i have all the fixes but the Aliasfactor kicks my CPU usage up to around 80%. I don't have this problem at all with heavier plugins.



    sorry if i'm being unclear, it's not causing my computer to shut down or combust , but running as administrator or rescanning has no effect on these plugins so i wanted to know if they were on the similar list of corrupted plugins (and if i had to download a patch/fix).

    I vaguely remember a thread about some of the older Cakewalk plugins having a memory leak. The Cakewalk delay was one of them. The more recent versions don't have the problem according to what I remember.

     I think the issue came about when upgrading through a number of different SONAR versions. Apparently one of the previous plugin versions were known to have a memory leak. DOn't know anything else about it though.

    ah yes, i think "memory leak" was the term i was looking for.

    I've found a few threads to look into for now but one of them states that the Bug might be in Alias Factor itself. =(

    thanks anyway.

    i had a quick play in soundforge with it (it's a DX effect), and it seemed ok (no cpu spikes, etc) apart from a tiny interface (i don't remember it being so tiny when it came with project5) - what settings are you using? does it behave the same in a different host?

    list of stuff
