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.
