Yeah ... I probably should not jump in here but I cannot resist :). It is very difficult to agree with the connection between CPU load and any sort of impact on audio (through noise being aliased in audible band). Frankly, the correlation, if any, is extremely thin and complicated. An example (just an example) is that what can matter in term of digitally generate noise, if you want to go there, can be the cyclic nature of your processing and how that creates a pattern that aliases wrongly through many routes, including your DC/DC converters. So here, lower CPU with patterns can be more problematic that constant high CPU that is more out of band noise. I guess what I'm trying to say is that driving correlation on a sort of chaotic system is usually (by definiton) impossible. If you talk about an overloaded system that does not have enough horse pwoer to keep up with the data stream it has to handle / produce, this is different, but I don't think this was the topic here.
