    [Nicholas Kleczewski] ” 8 core nMP D700. All the same. It’s a UI issue. FCPX is trying to do too much all the time. I’ve suggested to them they create some sort of performance slider. How much caching of thumbnails, waveforms etc, vs instant UI response. There’s times when either are valuable. It got a lot better since 10.1 for sure, I like to think I had some small part in that, Them asking to be involved on a massive 4TB documentary I was editing and getting beach balls of death across the board. But it’s still a thing in genetically UI, that barely perceptible delay in actions.

    I have found working off a raid getting at least 600 MBs does help significantly. My guess is it’s that Quick small file access exchange happening with FCPXs database on every move. But it’s still there over time even on an internal nMP project pulling 900+ MBs”

    That’s depressing, I was hoping that a new MP would make things a lot better. My experience with a 5K iMac was much better than my 2008 MacPro but the interface was still a bit laggy. I don’t see the same lag in PPro CC even on my 2008 MP. I really hope that the next Yosemite based release will make a substantial difference. The new version of iMovie gives me hope as it’s interface IS quicker than the previous version.

    Just curious, doesn’t position mode do the trick?
