IOW Reaper is chewing up all of one core because it can't or won't utilise the other 5. Perhaps this is why it glitches.
Neither Reaper or any other DAW can load distribute what a plugin does. The plugin needs to coded to do that itself. I'm not familiar with SynthMaster but I'm guessing that setting it to "best" mode it is using 4 or 8 times oversampling and possibly a different more intensive code path. However, it also seems that SynthMaster has not been coded to use multiple CPUs so it never will.
