Oh yes, same for me.

Wow, that's interesting enough. Unfortunately I didn't have further
time to investigate this since my last post. I would like to abstain
from making hasty statements, but I don't think the plugins are at
fault. At least, not in a trivial way.

If you'd like me to try/confirm something please let me know.
Unfortunately I have currently very little idea as to where the
key to this problem may lie. It is obviously not a denormal issue
with the plugins themselves (obviously... or so I think); and it
has to do something with Jack graph topology/complexity (because
it does not happen on normal tracks). I fear I'm very far from
being expert here.
