If you know some specifics please bring this up with the author, file a bug 
report perhaps. He has been very forthcoming about fixing issues in the past.

Recently I found that denormal issues can be brought to a minimum by 
recompiling your plugins with the appropriate SSE/SSE2/SSE3/3DNOW settings.
I have recompiled them with CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS set to -m3dnow and cpu usage 
has overall dropped, including potential denormal issues.

Robert
