Please test these. If you would like to help give us valuable feedback, the following information will be most helpful with the results:

CPU type (AMD or Intel, approximate kind e.g. "Sandy Bridge")
OS version and bit-ness (e.g. Windows 7 64-bit)
REAPER architecture used (win32 or win64) -- ideally if you can, please test both versions of each architecture and give us results
Audio device block size and samplerate
How many tracks were in the project tested, how many plug-ins (approximately), how many non-Cockos plug-ins.
Anything else interesting or unusual about your project (routing, folders, compressed media, etc)

Testing methodology
Try loading your project, playing it a bit, and letting everything settle before taking a measurement. When you do take a measurement, try to make it over a reasonably long time (such as 30 seconds), and try to make sure that your sample is taken from the same part of the project in each test.
