My band uses ProTools to run backing tracks live, very simple stuff. Some key parts, string parts, swells etc..., the click is printed for each song, and there are are no plug ins. 8 total sends to Front of House.
I used to run the tracks off of a LaCie 1TB drive via firewire, but we were having some issues with daisy chaining, so we installed a solid state in the macbook, and now run everything off of the internal, while the profire uses the firewire port. This fixed the problem we used to have, but now I am getting a CPU Overload Error which is a huge deal while doing a live performance. Here are my playback engine settings:
H/W Buffer Size: 1024 Samples
Host Processors: 2
CPU Usage Limit: 85% (I think I should bump this to 90)
Delay Comp Engine : Short - 1023 samples
DAE Playback Size Level 2.
Could turning off delay comp help at all? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

If there are no plugs than you should be able to turn off Delay Comp. I'm not sure it will solve your issue but it's worth trying.
I'm assuming you are simply playing back 8 audio streams? No active VI's?
