Groove Agent SE5 pegs my ASIO performance

Just loaded the 30 day trial a few days ago. Everything else seems fine. I’m running lots of audio, MIDI & VSTI tracks. Lots of plugins. All is well until I click on a MIDI track that is going to GA SE5 and boom! Pegged ASIO meter (bottom line). It also happen occasionally when I click the little monitor button on an audio channel. Otherwise, loving C10.

Ps. Running a fairly powerful rig which has been optimized for audio production. So I don’t thin kit’s hardware related. Could be wrong…
