    I posted this before, but i’m I the only one that has to edit like “walking on egg shells” or FCP X hangs and beach balls. I’ve upgraded ram, I”m using event manager, I’m using fast drives, I’ve upgraded to 10.0.3 and Lion. I’m even using proxy files on a Quad Xenon and Raid 0. WTF? As soon as I pick up any speed it beach balls!

    I’m getting more beach balls then I should be, but nothing like you sounds like. I can go for quite a while on my macbook pro, did you ever take a look at those console logs and see anything suspicious?

    My set up got weird at home due to a mix of internal drives with f* up perms add slow FW800 as main wip drives.
    After a few reboots and cleaning up the internal drives, they beach ball happens occasionally mostly when switching from project to project.
    Im sure itll come back.
    At work Im using a GTech esPro with SAS so no beach balls there yet.
