As a counterpoint, it runs well on my Hackintosh (3.5 GHz i7, 32 GB, GTX 680 video card, 4 SSD's, etc) of course, not as well as Reaper, but nowhere near as bad as Pro Tools (with VI's).
I get occasional spikes with Sampletank, but I think that has to do more with ST than S1 - I get spikes in Logic X as well. Other than that, I've had pretty good luck with S1. Sessions with Komplete 10, Slate, Fabfilter and Soundtoys stuff all run fine here.
The language should be, "It sucks heavily on MY machine...", because not everyone has the same experience.

Awhile ago, I ran a Presonus S1 demo project in S1 v3, on my macbook retina 2015, 16 gig ram, core i7.
It "only" contained S1 native plugins.
Result: Instant crackling and tearing sound at first play.
(And beware: my osx system on my macbook is very clean and well maintained)
Way to go Presonus.
If you are used to the excellent performance hit in Reaper, you won't take less in other DAW's.
Just my 2 cents.

Studio One 3 works perfectly well for me (switch between SO3 and Reaper depending on where I work) and so do my Studio 192 audio interface and Eris E8 monitors (got them for $145/pair at a Guitar Center close out sale a couple of years ago).
Not a Presonus fanboy by any means - products from many other companies get the job done, too. You have to use what actually works for you and If I had so many problems with a specific brand I wouldn't buy from them, either.
Just expressing my own experience with Presonus products.

Agreed. However, Reaper is a bit of an anomaly in the DAW world. None of the others (and I own and use Logic, Pro Tools, S1 and Ableton Live) come close to Reaper's performance. Logic, maybe on a good day...
My day job is audio for television, and for acquisition - when we absolutely "have to get it" on a large field shoot (or in the studio), we use Reaper. Hands down. Mixes will always be in PT because we have so much invested in Avid hardware.
I know when I venture into using other DAW's, that they won't be Reaper, and temper my expectations accordingly.

I believe the effect is akin to how turning down a track can in some cases cause a just-under-0 dBFS signal to peak (by removing what was destructive interference between signals).

Yep, http://www.saintpid.se/en/isp-true-peak-limiters-test/ but is there a good reason to not use a limiter that deals with ISPs?
While ISPs happening on conversion can't be perfectly mitigated by an ISP-aware limiter, it certainly helps to not have them in the source. I'd use -1dB ceiling for mp3s anyway.

Comparing other DAWs to Reaper when you're after high performance and/or low latency is obviously completely unfair!
I didn't really give S1 a fair trial either.
I had just gotten the wild hair that I was going to start using one of the new generation of DAW apps for live sound. I suppose that if Reaper wouldn't have been an option I would have given up on that idea and just went with S1 for a replacement for Digital Performer for remote recording only. (DP was crashing and burning and pretty much done when they tried to finally support OSX back when it was new. At the end of OS9.) But Reaper came along and set the bar where it is.
I'm thinking that when, A) You're not maxing out your CPU (even 1 core), and B) You're not maxing out ram use - but your app is crashing and suddenly quitting. It's a bug, yes it is!

A Hackintosh isn't a Mac though, Hackintosh performance is apparently better than Mac at low latencies with all else being equal.

Not as much as their support does hahaha
But yeah, the performance on OSX is horrific, i can compare OSX and Windows here side by side, the Windows machine will be much lower spec and work much better with Studio One.
Then again, Reaper is second best on OSX too

Not a happy in fact an angry-at-presonus Studio One user here as well. Presonus is dying to rival with Avid PT and trying all their asses out to introduce PT like features ignoring the requests of a vast majority who's bread and butter is midi performance. S1 is a cpu hog but good for basic compositions as well as those who wants to migrate from fl studio to some fast workflow daw. Workflow is indeed logical and easiest. Alas, two weeks or so I sadly said goodbye and jumped into the Reaper's bandwagon. I am quite happy with my decision so far.
