Could it be possible to activate focus peaking while recording RAW?
Or is it just drawing too much recources to be at least computed?

The idea is, that anything else (exposure, ISO, etc.) can be set before recording. But pulling the focus without any help from some peaking is the hell of a job.
To save recources, it could for example only activate itself for a shot period, when the focus is actually pulled.

What camera are you using?  With the Mark III and a 64 gig Komputerbay card you should be able to use global draw at 1920x1080.  Another method is to crank up the sharpness on your picture style, it works pretty well.

Well, I have a Lexar 1000x and a 5D2. Normally I can record at about 68MB/s. But with global draw activated at roughly 48MB/s.
Cusiously the CPU does not exceed 75% while recording RAW with only focus peaking activated.

Am I missing something?

By the way: Cranking up the sharpness is a very good idea (it was still at zero - ever since the H.264 days ;D).

Done!

Thanks for the fast change! But now, since recording isn't really working with global draw activated, it's circuitous to always activate it for setting the scene and deactivating it again for recording.
As a suggestion, it would be great to choose between 'always on' and 'auto-deactivate while recording RAW' ::)
