I have a powerbook G4 with 1.5ghz processor, 1.25 gig of Ram & OSX 10.3.9 with Ableton Live 5.2.2 & I was playing live the other day & not using my Firwire Interface as an output (instead opting for the "built in audio" option with a 1/8" adapter to RCA outs into a mixer) & on one song I started getting serious CPU overload at 62% & by that I mean audio cutout/stutter/slowdown....very ugly. This hadn't happened earlier in my home studio with the FW interface hooked up & it didn't happen when I got back home either (with the FW hooked up once again). Does using the built in audio really tax the CPU that much? Anyone else ever experience this? What was the solution?

So that means that the transition from 10.3 to 10.4 doesn't necessarily wipe out the old hard drive info...it merely updates the OS?

Here's an interesting footnote to all of this. What I didn't understand is why I was able to do some of the operations relatively trouble free in the past that were suddenly a problem. Then I just had an accident that wiped out a bunch of stuff on my desktop ( some photo file folders and a collection of mp3's, & some pdf's that I liked to keep handy for quick reference). I was mad about this at first but what do you know, all of a sudden, my trouble spots in Ableton all but disappeared. I really had no idea that a cluttered desktop had that much effect on CPU efficiency.....Or does it?
