minor updates and fixes. Some components require at least Rhino 5 SR12. After installing the pufferfish1-7.gha, please close Rhino completely one time to avoid potential assembly reference errors with the "Twisted Box" components.…
IF the platform is "unsuitable" (or there's others more suitable) then disproportional amount of effort is obviously required for the same sort of result (or "similar"). And well ... er ... if the design goal is solid modelling ... chances are that a surface modeller MAY classify as unsuitable (but may not depending on the case).
Given the opportunity: Personal data: strictly AEC sector, AECOSim/Microstation (25 years, main BIM/General CAD purpose app) + various vertical Bentley Systems AEC apps + Generative Components (~10 years, main Parametric app) + CATIA/NX (20 years, main MCAD app) + Quest3D (~10 years, main VR app) + ... + you name it.
UGLY news: I run a practice > this means that I'm used in evaluating/addressing problems having TEAMS in mind, budget, alternatives, deadlines, clients, study guarantees, claims, clauses ... > this means that I'm often very bad/off-topic if an one man show task requires some opinion/solution/workflow.
Anyway ...
... with regard your issue I'll provide an indicative approach after this w/e ... but chances are that would be carried over exclusively without native components.

Please mail me the file that is causing problems so I can debug it.
Regarding your quad-core, Rhino and Grasshopper are not multi-threaded applications. (Very few apps actually are). Therefore I can only use 1 of your cores which equals about 25% of a quad-core machine.
