Automation Moves Occur Late

[nob turner]

i've been having a problem where automation moves don't occur on time... they tend to be delayed by about 60mS. for example, i can set the mute automation to mute a kick drum midi note, and the note will still sound unless i advance the mute by about that amount of time. initially when i experienced this, restarting the computer seemed to clear the problem. that is no longer the case. this was not a problem until recently, though i upgraded to LE 7 in december.

i've done the usual troubleshooting stuff--removing prefs and restarting--to no improvement. i've installed the cs4 update as well. what next?
