M1 Mac CPU only 1/3 but wheel of death still appears frequently

I have a new Mac M1 16GB. I'm running moderately sized sessions. My CPU meter only ever reaches about 1/3 used but when i select different channel etc the wheel of death regularly appear for 5 seconds or so. Session are generally sluggish. I'm running Logic in Rosetta. Has this got something to do with it?

Thanks. No external devices in the equation and HD meter is barely being touched. I'm only using Waves and FF so shouldn't be a plugin issue there. Approx 90 tracks with 6 plugins per channel. Just thought seeming how my CPU usage is so low, the project should be running smoothly as a rule of thumb?

Are you running Logic Pro 10.6 or Logic Pro X 10.5?

Where are the project files? Internal SSD? External project disk?

Which Waves plugins in particular?

How do you have "processing" set? Automatic? Fixed number of cores?

 

I have automatic processing, 10 channels, 2 Waves plugins per channel. One core is bumping to 75%

 

No issues with beachball. Logic is using 2.1GB of RAM - if I had 90 channels with 6 plugins (540!) I would expect more memory being used.
