Observation on Plug-ins

This is purely anecdotal, but I have noticed that once I stripped out TC Sparks AU adapter, Waves AU adapter and Pluggo AU adapter from my components folder, everthing seems better in DP land. Just having the MOTU native plugs and some other native AU plugs that use the MOTU AU adapter seems to me to have really made a big difference in the program stability and general responsiveness. Anyone else observed this?

I have also noticed a difference. Even taking out a bunch of those 'free' VST plugs seems to have helped.

Even though it's discontinued, I find Spark plugins quite indispensable -- simple yet better-sounding than MOTU's bread-and-butter plugs (except for Plate).
Instead of removing Spark, a better way is to custom install just the TCAU component from the PowerCore 1.9.3 installer. FXmachine doesn't play too nicely, but all other Spark plugins work just fine here that way on 4.5 (not .1 or .2) and OS 10.3.5.
No experience with Waves or Pluggo, so can't comment there...

the pluggo debate seems to have dried up..
i've been v happy with dp 4.52 & pluggo 3.5.1 until today. suddenly, even running 'stereo faker', not a high-load plug, causes a thread crash 'bad kernel exception' or something. i notice that the report refers to 'disk fragment not found' or something.
i hate to say it, but this is after running DiskWarrior 3.0.3 on my mac in target disk mode. hmmm. to others out there; think hard before you do that! it may have moved vital files. although i'm not completely sure; pluggo is always risky.
