Default Reaper uses more CPU than Sonar

I'm a Sonar 8 user strongly considering moving to Reaper, but I've been playing around with it, and I noticed my standard project template in Reaper takes about 10-15 percent more cpu than in Sonar (when idle). I use lots of instruments and fx, so this is of some concern to me. Why would this be the case? I tried tweaking the audio performance settings but that didn't really help. CPU is pretty old, AMD Athlon 6400+ x2. Got plenty of RAM, 8 gigs.

Any ideas why the larger cpu hit?

btw, I'm judging cpu usage based on the Windows 7 performance tab.
