CPU spikes in SPE6

I got Sonar 6 yesterday, installed it and had to wait until today to try it out. I loaded a project from 5.2 that played fine on 5.2 and the CPU started spiking and dropped out repeatedly.
I tried rescanning the VST plugs but it still dropped out.
My DAW was online for about 20 minutes last week as I downloaded some plugin updates. I did not have my automatic (windows) updates turned off and about 15 updates were loaded onto my computer. Anyone have any ideas if any recent windows updates could have contributed to CPU spikes. How is SPE6 running for everyone in regards to CPU usage?
thanks. pete

    I too have noticed a momentary spike here and there. With the new metering it alternates between CPU 1 & 2 (I'm using a P4 with hyperthreading). I noticed it when I had a Korg Triton hooked up to my MIDI input (the Triton always sends a clock signal). I also noticed it when I had the Seesion Drummer plug-in running. It was also spiking when I had Audio Snap enabled on about 5 tracks at the same time. I'm getting no dropouts however. FYI, my latency is at about 5.8 with and Audiofile 2496 at 24 bit 48k.

    Anybody else with any suggetions? I have an AMD 64 3800 2.2 gig CPU. I'm running my Firepod at 25ms latency since it's a mix and I'm not tracking. All Audio, no soft synths. I have some Voxengo plugins and Sonitus reverb and EQ but no CPU hungry mastering plugins. Any ideas? Anybody from Cakewalk have any suggestions? Thanks-pete

    Hi Pete - you're not alone. My Sonar 4 and 5.2 projects dropout in Sonar 6. Haven't found a solution yet - post back here if you find one. Thanks, Tom
