[Rwp] Odd behaviour when adding an effect

[Chris Belle]

Laptops are notorious for glitchy performance with DAW software.

Like it or not, many of these things were not designed to meet the 
demands a DAW will put on them, and if your laptop is not powerful, or 
has high DPC latency spikes,
then adding even one vst can cause glitchy playback.

Reaper is much less a resource hog than sonar, or other DAW's but it 
still is a DAW, and these things can be picky.

If you shut your lid and the problem went away, it might be a heat issue,
many laptops also slow down to a lower processor setting when they get 
hot, and so changing your power options and setting things for high 
performance can help if your laptop isn't suffering from getting too hot.
that is.

Then as soon as I move one of the sliders on the plugin, like the wet signle, playback stops. Any ideas why this might be happening? I might have to go down the route of installing windows on the mac, if the laptop isn’t up to the task, but I thought that I should be at least able to
