Default Re: UAD2 v 5.3 - is it safe?

The studio is currently booked 7 days a week, so downtime and troubleshooting is not an option, so I'm hoping to hear from people with similar systems and whether or not 5.3 caused them any problems...anyone?

Thanks,
Not getting any problems as such, but i am seeing a big CPU hit when using the UAD plugs, not sure if its changed from 5.2, as i never really took much notice till i added a second card then i was testing one day and noticed that 10 uad plugs would eat 50+% of my 8 core machine thats about the same as 200 waves SSL EQ's.

But no issues it runs fine and could be specific to my setup having the uad in the computer and PTHD cards in a chassis.
