It depends on the room IR, but really not much at all. (Note that I've got Dual 2.0 w/ 3GB RAM and run tracks @ 44.1/24 on fast media drive. I'm still on Altiverb v4, but I hear the performance is the same if you don't engage the new controls in v5) It's not a worry in the least and I even like to track with it - no problems.

I recently (as an experiment) set up a surround Altiverb and it did register on the Cubase SX 2 meter.... about 10% (give or take, I didn't take notes). Audioease has really fine tuned the plug to take advantage of the G5 processor!
