Studio One request: better utilization of multicore chips needed as i9 chipset becomes more prevalent

I got a new system last week (see below) and Studio One is not running nearly as expected.  Hearing Pops and clicks with Device Block size < 64 and Process Block size of 128.  This is below the performance I got on my former system using an i7 chip without Thunderbolt audio interface with identical files.  My best guess is that Studio One is NOT using the power of the i9 7900x chip & board effectively. 

Consequently my request is to optimize Studio One so it can more fully take advantage of the i9 7900x motherboard and chipset and better show off the performance capability of audio interfaces like the Presonus Quantum.

To my fellow Forum readers- is it possible I am also missing some important adjustments to Studio One to optimize it in the higher performance environment of my new system?
