My computer can quite easily load an orchestra that uses up all 32 slots of Kontakt Gold and play back with no trouble at all without reverb with the CPU usage of around 10-20%. However, once reverb is introduced the CPU usage in the Kontakt window (the one with the keyboard on it) skyrockets and is constantly around 90-100% which results in poor playback with skips and stutters.

However, when I open any CPU monitoring program, even just the Performance tab in Windows Task Manager it says that only about 40-50% of the CPU's capacity is being utilized.

I have a Pentium 4 3.2GHz w/Hyperthreading and 768MiB DDR and WinXP w/SP2

Why is this happening? and is there a patch or fix or something that can help this along?[/img]
