Even though you don't have audio coming out when you're muting, you're still doing dsp.
Yes, what I don't understand though is _why_ we see such an increase in CPU load, when the channels are muted.
You should put each channel in a sub patch or abstraction and use [switch~] to enable/disable that abstraction. This is super important with low resource machines. The best fix is to do a quick (10-5ms) fade in/out when muting/unmuting, then hit [switch~] so you don't get any clicks:
The tracks are already seperated into abstractions, so this will be easy to implement.
Since the help for switch~ displays block~-help, I had mistaken the switch~ object as controlling blocksize as well.
I will implement your suggestions straight away - thanks!
