I can report that I've encountered "crackling" when playing certain AU instruments in Logic and nothing else running. The Mac I use now is not high powered, and virtual instruments like the Hammond Organ will peak the CPU.
My advice is (same advice I give my friends): use external hardware rather than internal software whenever you can. For me this means plugging in my pedal board when playing bass, and using an external mixer in front of my audio interface.
in the past, I have been able to get all of this working in the software domain, but inevitably something glitches and I have to go back to the drawing board. Using external hardware has eliminated that problem.
