Why I'm Switching to Logic (for now)

You can find benchmark test wins for every daw on the internet. Here for example is one where cubase (with asio guard) has the best results:

Daw benchmark test: Cubase / Bitwig / Studio one 3 / Reaper / Maschine - Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum - KVR Audio

The cubase performance meter isn’t very accurate. You can load the most vsti’s in the last quarter of the scale.

As I’ve tested logic pro X the last time, it still has this huge automation bug, which doesn’t let you set sample accurate automation while using plugins with latency. An absolute show stopper for me.

Unfortunately that doesn’t translate the same in the real world, for large amounts of people here and other places. I go by by how long it is before the ASIO engine starts crackling and popping because it’s overloaded. The difference on both my Mac and on my former Windows machine is/was quite dramatic, with Cubendo being at the bottom of Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper, and Studio One, in varying degrees.

indeed, on reaper or mixbus I have never run out of cpu no matter how large my projects. I constantly run into cpu issues on cubase.

But you are not the majority of DAW users. I have experienced different results here.
