It appears that Toast 7.1.3 is not completely compatible with Leopard. On some machines it will not make proper use of multiple processors (when viewed in Activity Monitor). It sometimes give the appearance of "hanging" and will take a very, very long time to multiplex a file and then burn it, longer than for a single processor machine.
Activity monitor shows a switching back and forth between the two processors with one of them taking most of the load and then the other, but Toast will not use both processors correctly. The machines have had hardware tests run and system checks. When other apps are involved, appropriate use of the processors is apparent.
Strangely, running "yes > /dev/null" for both processors for a while seems to temporarily resolve the issue in some instances. It is not a "fix" though.
