The thing to realise is - with the Virus Control, it is extremely simple to bounce the Virus tracks down individually anyway, if it proves necessary for any reason and you can keep the midi tracks (muted), should you need them for further tweaking.

I have a few questions:
1) How much does the Virus TI exactly need the computer's own cpu to run all those stereo streams into logic's mixer engine? 5%, 10%, 20% ? Is this the reason why you suggest bouncing the TI tracks? At least this is quite normal with uad1 and powercore too. They need some resources.
2) Can I use the TI as an audio unit synth plugin at the same time with my motu 828 mk2 which is usually monitoring 18 inputs (other hardware synths) at the same time?
3) I usually have about 60% load at both G5 processors in Logic 7 when my project is at the final stage so can I still use the Virus TI without bouncing it or do I have to bounce the TI? I use 512 samples buffer @ 44.1kHz because I have powercores and uad1 too so the buffer shouldn't be a problem. At least I was planning to use the TI always live without bouncing because it has so much power and channels with their own effects. In my opinion it's quite strange to bounce things when you have a machine this powerful in use.
edit.
4) Can you use the analog outs at the same time with the usb channels? So can you assign different parts to output to TI's analog outs? And if you decide not to use the usb transfer of audio, can you still use the virus plugin in the host sequencer to control the virus altough you would use only the analog outs?
