I know this defies conventional wisdom; but I seem to remember reading, 
on some past thread on the LUG, that reducing the bit depth of the 
freeze files from 32 bits actually increases the strain on the CPU in 
some way.

I think it was that because logic works internally at a 32 bit 
resolution, decreasing the freeze files gives the CPU extra conversion 
work to do. And so that while it might reduce the disc reading load, 
reducing the bit depth might not actually be a net gain to overall 
performance. Does anyone remember the specifics of this??

Freezing the files at 32 bit instead of 24 might be worth a shot, if 
for nothing else, than to rule it out as a possibility.
