Interesting. I often get confused by what the Reaper performance window is telling me versus real life experience.

I'm on a Mac too. The graphics are definitely slightly more sluggish than Cubase, Logic. I've read before that Reaper UI is factually inefficient on a Mac, don't know the reason why though.
I had to adjust overall Mac display by choosing a different display calibration just to get the graphics in Reaper to be acceptably smooth. Still not where I'd like it to be.

Going back to the performance meter, since I notice there should be plenty of spare CPU even though my system seems to be struggling - does that mean the CPU utilized to draw Reaper is not being counted in the performance info?
