Actually there are a bunch of threads on KVR in the FXPansion forum

about problems people are having with the new BFD drum sample instrument on
G5s. This beast has 9 GB of drum samples and a streaming engine which performs
OK on the developer's G4 1.2 Dual but apparently runs like a dog on the G5 Dual
2K machines some of his customers have.

This suggests rather strongly that Apple have screwed up royally -- no doubt
there will be a fix in due course.
