You're not using Norton on your machine, are you? That right there takes up most of your resources when it comes to CPU usage. Norton is VERY, and I say it again VERY bad for any configuration. AVG is less CPU hungry. I found that it's best to disable any AV programs when trying to use your PC as a DAW, no matter which program you use.

Just a thought.
