Yes, I do not why it takes a lot of resources alhough I can see with gkrellm application that my CPUs are about 50-60%, so it is not so bad.
  
Try making the transition bandwidth on your filters a little wider (like double their current width)--this will make the FIR filters shorter, which
  will reduce computational burden, although the existing filters aren't that long, it's worth a shot.
