3. Has the waveform drawing bug been addressed?
1. Yes, but maybe not quite as extensive as you (or we) would like yet. It's an ongoing process and there are several factors that come into play that we don't necessarily have control over.

2. What are you seeing that causes you to question this? There should be no issues with CPU balancing beyond issues with non fully RTAS optimized code in plug-ins. That is something only plug-in manufacturers can address.

3. Yes! - I'm going to say that with the caveat that the fix has not been fully tested yet, but I can't imagine this going out without a solid fix. We're also hoping to roll this into a cs release for previous versions.
