PT Free on G4 400Mhz 576 SDRAM running out of CPU power, Need a solution Options

I encounter the same message over and over again. ' YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF CPU POWER. TAKE OUT SOME PLUG-INS TO FREE UP CPU POWER ( -9128 )'. So I went on Digidesign web site and found all about this message and did all what should be done and still after a few seconds of listening to a recording or any other song,  the same message appear. I've zero initialysed my hard disk and reinstall Mac OS9.1.1 on my power mac G4 400Mhz with 576 Mg of RAM and still the same. I downloaded Pro Tools Free a couple of times. Still the same. Duplicated my extension manager and custumized my setup to lower down the traffic in the CPU nothing works. But when I first used Pro Tools Free last year with Mac OS 9.0 it was working fine. Could it be that Pro Tools Free is incompatible with Mac OS 9.1?

Yes there are a few plugs that are TDM and will run on RTAS system but one plug max and even then it might not work very well without crashing. You don't like TDM? Have you ever used a TDM system? I am guessing you are a die hard VST user. All I know is that I prefer to use PT over most other audio sequencing apps and RTAS, AS, and TDM is only choice so those what I stick with. There a few dozen more VST plugs but since the programming seems to be getting easier... almost anyone can make them and the quality of most just doesn't appeal to me. Some are interesting though and most RTAS ar available as VST too so which format just depends on what app you use for sequencing.
