Can you point me in the direction of the plugins you mean? Because I haven't had problems with CPU levels for a long time now. Just curious.

Here's an example: https://www.u-he.com/cms/diva -- it's widely regarded as one of the best sounding analogue emulations (mostly due to its filters) and as a CPU hog (in its "divine" sound engine mode).

Mind you, in a modern CPU you can still run a few instances, but very fewer compared to regular plugins.
