Just bought native 1.8 yesterday.
Using in studio one (V3), one instance of Native takes 25-30% of my CPU. For contrast the studio one Amplifie plug-in takes about 5%.
Even worse the Native plug-in will also cause the system to spike past a hundred every 10 seconds or so, even on a completely empty project with nothing but the plug in added to an empty track. That makes it fairly un-usable.
Anyone else getting this sort of resource hogging? Any tips or tricks to reduce the resource use?
