Hi, I just ran a 8.5.20 project in C9, and these are my findings:
Project is at 48/24 with a buffer size of 128, 28 GB in memory
ASIOGuard high
around 5 audio tracks
2 x Superior Drummer
4 x HSSE2
7 x PLAY 5.0
4 x EZKeys
Ivory 2
VB3
Mr. Ray
Dark Planet
Dexed
6 effects sends and about 20 insert effects, mainly UAD-2 and REVerence
No dropouts, green audio load just under halfway, no “blue spikes”, Taskmanager CPU 40%, all cores (4 real/4 virtual) equally loaded.
I’m a happy camper
At first I used the 32bit version, then I switched to the x64 version I never knew existed. The 32bit worked out of the box after being jbridged, and the x64 worked as well. Other than the initial bridging I did nothing special…
Sorry…

FYI: I just opened the same project from my OP with 8.5.20, and it feels, looks and sounds just the same. So no overt improvement, but I’ve been happy with Cubase performance for quite a while now…
