1. When Pitch N' Time is activated, even though the CPU usage shows up to 1/5 of the bar, when I start scratching or beat juggling, I get the red dot and clicks/pops out of the main outs. The harder/faster I cut, the more clicks I get. All without the CPU bar raising any bit. So, this has to be a CPU glitch, but not sure what.

2. With latency on my SL2 down even to 5ms, SSL was working like a charm. SDJ not even operating normally on 8ms (recomended setting) - completely destroyed sound output. Had to draw back to 11ms to make SDJ work with enough latency to scratch efficiently, but even with this setting I still get click/pops on the mains. So, I guess there is also a latency problem too.

My laptop is a 2012 MBP i7, 8GB ram, 13".

Hey kebzer,

This sounds normal for where Pitch N Time is at.
You will need to boost your buffers in order to use it successfully.

Zach, thanks for the reply. I know that this is the current state of the software, however my problem is that I can't see any way to fix this.

Unless I buy a new laptop, which I doubt will help at all.

Unfortunately it is the state of things.
There is nothing that can be done other than boosting the buffer.
