Vegas 11 showing some latency
I know some slowdown and latency could be a lot of things, but splitting events on my 1 TB hard drive connected to an esata cable cause a half second or so delay, especially if I’m splitting two points in rapid succession. I’m cutting mov footage out of a t3i. And this is fairly recent. I’ve been editing on Vegas 11 since 2011 and haven’t had this problem. My OS is Windows 7.
I have a 3.2 Ghz quad core i7, 12 GB DDR3 RAM, nVidia GTS 450, have Vegas installed on my C drive with 146 GB of empty space (it’s a 250 GB HD), and all my hard drives are 0% fragmented.
I run my computer a lot, often 10 hours or more a day. I blow the dust out of it every few weeks, though I mean to do it every week. I did a clean reinstall of Vegas, deleting the registry, a month or two ago when I was having really bad latency or crashes, I can’t remember which.
When I was editing footage via a USB 3.0 cable it was way slower, especially when I minimized and maximized Vegas while doing things like looking for stock music online.
Is my computer just getting old? I’ve had it for 3 years, and I’ve heard that after a while Windows just starts to slow down and you have to reinstall it. It’s annoying, but I don’t know much of what else I can do.
Here’s my startup programs. If there’s any on there that I don’t need to run on startup, let me know.
Dynamic RAM preview is 100 MB, though this isn’t really a problem with playback. Max number of rendering threads is 16. GPU acceleration is on.

I have only 1 startup program: antivirus software
You do not need to have any other program ‘pre-start’ on boot up. Uncheck everything except your antivirus software. Even though you don’t have too many running at startup, a few of those may be resource suckers.

I might try that, though I’ve never seen anyone else recommend that. If my computer blows up, I’m blaming you.
