CPU usage going wild with just 3 plugins

Your new computer probably has CPU throttling.

Turn that off when working on multi-media.

That was most likely it! The song with the supposedly “crappy” plugins runs at about 50% CPU usage and eventually flips over, so that didn’t help much here, but the other songs are now more in line.

Thank you!
