Hey Guys,

I have a legit copy of Soothe2 v1.3.1

But I find my CPU starts shitting itself after 3 or more instances.

I have R2R's v1.1.2 and in the notes it says "Our release loads faster and uses less memory than original" which I know is normally the case with cracked versions.

I just want to know if I would be better off removing 1.3.1 and installing 1.1.2.

Does R2R's version use much less cpu??

 

No-one is going to give you exact numbers because most R2R users do not own the plugin, and also there are all the different factors between your system and theirs. So I would consider the changes from 1.1.2 to 1.3.1 first, before thinking about downgrading versions:
