12% CPU usage and I'm getting buffering/DAE issues!

[thirdsouth]

Hey thanks to anyone reading this,

I can get about 10+ plug-ins or 20+ tracks until I get a hardcore buffering issue..

and then I mixed all drums down to one Audio file, all leads to one audio file, pack the master with compressors and I get DAE errors saying it cant get data fast enough..

I have PTLE 8 running on my internal Western Digital 500gb with the PTLE 8 sessions all saving on a Firewire 800 (I hope its running 800) Western Digital My Book Studio 500gb. I have a powerful system.. anybody see whats wrong? I'm configured my system settings, AND my PT settings,... It runs, but it bogs down.. I only have the USB Icon, my internet con and the clock in my bar, nothing elser running.. whats up??
