I never had processor overload problems with my setup.  But I think a big
reason is that the GR700 transmits only MIDI note number and MIDI velocity.
Yes, that's _it_. No MIDI pitch bend.

Another possible reason (don't hold me to it, I'm not 100% positive on 
this)
is that maybe Max is still not PowerPC native.  At least my copy is not.
