i'm very aware of win task monitor..
but unfortunately TM dont tell the whole story.
(google for added third party process/task monitor software.)
i was just makeing the point different daw software might
have different added security features to protect the host
daw and firewalling .
for example ptw might have added security features and other code to protect it.
for example ptw has a recovery feature if i remember.
ive never needed to use it. whether that has an impact i dunno.
difficult to say as only the developers know the source code.

the basic problem for host daw software developers ,
and its the achilles heel of plug ins imho is how to protect samp/ptw/reap
or any other daw host from problematic third party plug ins .
mebe ptw protects itself different to the others. dunno.
if it does, this might account for variances.
