QWS List Problems with VST Host and QWS

[Seth Lowman]

So I'm using midi yoke with VST Host.  The problem is, however, that my
VST's are horribly latent when I play them through QWS.  I turned the buffer
size down to 70 samples in VST Host, but it's still more latent than
Coolsoft or Prodeus VX.  I'm confused as to why this is.  I made sure and
disabled all of the midi yoke in ports in QWS.  
also, encase this helps, VST Host doesn't start up where I leave it the last
time I used it.  Is there anything I'm Missing?  It works fine on my windows
7 computer, but not on my windows 8 laptop.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
