Every time I instantiate DirectConnect (I use Unity DS-1), I get horribly stuttered playback, along with a flashing message in the DirectConnect plug-in window that says "Something is using too much CPU time. Error -6031".

In one case, trashing preferences (DAE prefs, Pro Tools preferences and DigiSetup) resolved the error.
