Default 9.0.5 "Running out of CPU Power"

So it's been a month since I updated to 9.0.5 and it has been an utter disaster. I constantly get the message that I'm running out of CPU power, but back on 9.0.1 I NEVER had this issue. I have tried many different audio engine settings. I used to be able to set the CPU usage to 99% and now I can only hit 90% in the options. System specs as follows:

Hackintosh:
Asus p6t Deluxe v2
i7 920 @ 4ghz
12GB 1666mghz Corsair Ram
RME Fireface 800
OSX 10.6.8

I geek bench at almost 14,000. At 9.0.1 I had huge sessions running (complete production toolkit) and would be able to hit 80% cpu, all native without that error. With 9.0.5 I can't hit 30% without that error. Perhaps I am getting strange spikes.

Did anyone running 10.6.8 get these issues when going to 9.0.5? How hard is it to go back 9.0.1? I turned off all of my power saving options and speedstep and all of that, and have messed with the bios settings, including going back to original settings and disabling the overclock. Hope you guys have some advice :)
