To improve the CPU usage of your instruments, please try the following:
Increase your buffer size to at least 512 samples.
Minimize the release time of volume envelopes wherever possible (also play with the volume attack time).
Minimize the use of time-based effects on the global and layer levels.
Reduce the max number of voices used or try putting your layers in monophonic mode.
Minimize the Instrument GUI within Kontakt when not in use, then close the Kontakt GUI.
