Default Session freezes, cause I organized Tracks-view and removed unused from Playlist

#solved#

Well, this is a tough thing: since weeks I am on this orchestra recording with many many tracks. The last days I kicked out most of plugins as I bought some special new ones. These I rendered in via AudioSuite. So, the session was smooth and gets smoother as I reduce plugins. That's what I thought, ha ha. Because:
Today I re-organized my windows and tracks (via marker list) configuration, just to have e.g. my VCA's always on top. Also I selected unused files in the playlist and removed them from the session. I expected to get more speed. But ProTools12.5 is freezing after seconds as it has CPU spikes now. Funny, isn't it? It's mostly around 63% total, and suddenly after some seconds (there's no automation and I am listening one track only in SOLO) the CPU hits 100%. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I tried session restart, session save, MacBookpro restart - Nothing! This is the first time this happens. No other apps running in background (I checked activity monitor for that).

Oh! And I found out, if I uncheck "Enable Video engine" I'll save 30% of RAM - although this is only music without any video inside

This is curious. These new plugins are nowhere as inserts, so they are not the reason. The re-organization means: on top 8 VCA's, then 4-8 instrument tracks, then 5-10 Auxxes/print/output. Mostly same track setup I had till noon - and it worked perfectly.
Well, I have to ask for help as I can't go on with my work.
Strange world.

PT12.5 on a MacBookPro late 2013 with Mavericks. Nothing changed since that day - and till noon it was a good system for PT.

BlueCat told me, that SoundToys PlugIns inside of Patchwork causes CPU spikes, I have to use VST. (or just the AAX).
This mystery is solved
