Unless you're running some major huge sessions in there, you are having problems elsewhere. Your recommending PT HD is very wide of the mark - an 8-core MacPro can run more plugs than an HD8 system.

Wow, if thats the case you are correct something is seriously wrong! PT LE can do all of that! ? WOW. Infiniteloop, in lieu of not hijacking this thread can I PM you regarding this. I'd love to get our macpro running that sweet. I am also playing 1080p video through blackmagic in full res at the same time and running way more than 48 tracks and 16 busses. thats not much imo. Running 7 surround plugs, thats something this system does not like and that impresses me.
WOW

Is this really true? What about with a full track count? Have been considering going HD 1 due to this problem. How much ram are you running? What core speed? How many hard drives? These are also all factors.
EDIT: Right now I have a test session, 14 tracks total. (2 inacive atm) 2 x 5.0 aux + 2 x 5.1 aux, the rest are mono and stereo audio tracks. CPU (RTAS) usage is at 5%, with only surroundscope on dialogue stem. no other plugs. I add TL space 5.0 to DX chain, puts the CPU at 11%. Add 2 surround compressors to auxes, another 5.0 TL space to foley track, air EQs on foley and massey limiter to stereo mixdown aux with surroundcode and im floating above 36% on 12 cores. This session doesnt even have audio in it.
