This I/O trick is so important, Emagic should really include it in their 
documentation. I don't know about OS X, but it definitely works in OS 9. 
I've seen it with my own eyes.

Make sure you're preference for dual CPU use is enabled in your 
preferences under your audio driver. Insert an I/O plugin on any given 
audio track, instrument, or bus. Make sure to open the plugin and 
actually set the in and out definitions. Then bypass the plugin. This 
will shift the load to the first CPU instead of the second CDP which is 
used as a default for audio processing. Logic needs to be playing though 
for this to happen. When the transport is stopped, the I/O trick does 
nothing.

The reason it works is beacause Logic is coded to have live input 
objects handled by the first processor (as well as graphics, midi, and 
the currently selected audio instrument). Using this I/O plugin forces 
the object in question to be treated as a live input object.
