I saw this on my box wich has a similar configuration. I had two tracks
that spiked, whith the desibel and cpu meters way above normal.
I made a backup of the project dir, and tried to save. This didn't work. As
both problem tracks was using the same plugin (10 band eq), i deleted the
plugins, and saved. I don't remember exactly what i did, but finaly after a
lot of crashing and killing it finally worked. 

I really need to remember to take notes.

The problem was not connected to an ardour upgrade, it happened after a
crash, ardour crashed when loading GVerb (swh-plugins    0.4.13-1).
