We have also had this problem, and have found that normally one can avoid it by salting the [freeverb~] object with a minuscule amount of noise at all times.

when is connected into freeverb any signal multiplied by zero the CPU usage begin to up and up to the limit, and if the patch is heavy by far exceeds the 100%....sound and everything becomes a mess.

This happens to me only in leopard.

In osx 10.4 (ppc) and windows I've never had that problem. Andr?s Ferrari G.
