Opteron dual-core and cpu munching ...

I've finally got my dual-core Opteron system up and running but I am noticing some considerable munching with my two UAD-1 cards running plugins in Sonar 5.0.

When my latency is set at 11.6ms (512 ASIO buffer size) I can only run my two UAD-1's to about 55-60% on the UAD-1 performance meter. At the same time, Sonar 5.0's cpu meter hovers around 25-35%.

I had done a lot of reading about UAD-1 cards in Tyan's K8W (S2885) and was optimistic in reading results if munching as low as 3-5%. I could live with that but really can't do much with my current setup. Are there any tips or tricks to cut down on the munching?

Thanks,
Nightowl
