I had a similar issue with my disk keeping up.  But, I had about 70 
tracks running.  This was with no plugins.

I had unrelated plugin troubles which I solved by upgrading to a 
newer version of plugins.  I had been using a 2004 vitage plugin set.
You didn't say what version plugins you're using.

G'luck...
