10.0.6 performance issues
I know some have mentioned a snappier response. I’m tending to see the opposite. Curious what others are seeing. My system is without a broadcast card. 8-core MP, 16GB RAM, Quadro 4000 card and RAID-0 internal media drive. Media is all ProResLT or ProRes.
My main issue is with timeline/project performance. When I play a sequence I notice subtle, visual stuttering on horizontal movement. It’s not dropping frames, but rather looks like this issue has to do with how it’s writing the image to the graphics card. Pref settings doesn’t seem to change this.
The second thing I’ve noticed is that now there’s a 1 sec response lag between pressing the space bar or the L key and having it start to play. It was instant in 10.0.5.
None of these issues are there in FCP 7, PProCS6, Sym 6.5 on this same machine with the same media.

I’m still on 10.0.5 with an AJA ioXT and I have always had the playback response lag with this combo.

Definitely snappier here. No lags. Title interactions especially seem more snappy.

Are you using an i/o card?

Not with FCPX at this time.
I have a Matrox MXO2LE I use with FCP7.

Hi
Maybe the 1.7-2.4 times speed-up that AVX brings to vector/image processing on Sandy Bridge+ CPUs is the reason for the difference? -
Swapped the Quadro 4000 for the ATI 5870 and the performance is a bit better. No stuttering (at least in full screen made) and slightly less lag in play start response.

Sounds to me like it might be card driver optimization.
Be interesting to see if the card MFGs release flash patches for their firmware.
I’m using a stock MacBook Pro – and running on a simple Radion 4870 in my Mac Pro – and I’m not seeing any truly significant difference on either. (The laptop still runs X faster and smoother than my desktop!)

Play > Start lag I’ve had an every version of FCPX. Even AJA’a systems as IBC had the issue. On our main edit suite (MacPro 2008 8-core, 16GB RAM, 4870, Kona 3, OSX 10.8.2) it’s substantially less responsive than FCP7 or PrPro CS6.
I can test a bit on my 2011 laptop and see if things are better.

I have for the first time now after updating to 10.0.6, am experiencing major import issues with my media from my Canon 60D. 1080p 29.97 footage. I had 10 clips that were no longer a total of 1.5hrs. Every clip encountered an error. I have been using FCPX since it was released and never seen this before. However I imported 4 clips from my Sony AVCHD camera and there was no errors at all. So now I have at least isolated the issues to some degree, but this a huge problem! But surprisingly the clips were on my drive despite the error, its just annoying because it stops in the middle of the import until you click ok. I uploaded a screen shot of there error, I’m not sure if I did that correctly but this is the link
