DSP status only monitors cpu usage in the DSP chain (MSP), all activity
in the Max domain is not included, so i guess your Windows System-
Monitor could be right.

Other than that it sounds like a harddisk related issue. What about your
live sampling patch, do you write and read from the disk, or do you use
buffer~ ?

OK. Maybe it’s the high cpu load then…
Anyway, the only thing I can think of is to try different diskbuffer
sizes. (Can be specified as an additional optional argument to sfplay~,
check the help file).
