Nutsy,
Not sure how much help this will be, I had a simular problem with a couple of my computers. I don't run windows so it may be different, but turning down the number of tracks played in the audio settings reduced the problem for me to a point I can live with (occasional Hag ups in very crouded cities). Dropping the number of tracks to 16 my cpu use seemes to stay more around 70-90% instead off running at close to 100% the whole time
