What is up with Arturia's stuff these days?


Reading this post, put up a few days ago on Failed Muso, about Arturia's demo of their new Jupiter 8V (a softsynth version of Roland's much loved Jupiter 8) I have to agree with what he says about abnormal CPU usage; but it's not just the Jupiter, all of Arturia's synth's now seem to be like this. I bought the ProphetV and it's the same and recently I tried some of their new demos of their older synths - Analog Factory etc, and they also have the same problem. I thought it was just my crappy old PC (only 2 years old but not very powerful) but judging by what was said on F.M., maybe that's not the case after all. What's going on? I remember trying out demos of Arturia's older stuff on my P.C. before and they worked fine; you couldn't have many instances running at once, but at least you could play more than two notes together without the CPU meter in Ableton going into overdrive!
Anybody else having the same problems? let me know.
