The mac pro – was on 10.6 and I did upgrade it to 10.7, though the symptoms were present before the upgrade. I will un-install fcp7 and do a re-install.
The iMac was new, clean install of 10.8.4 on which I installed fcp7. It seems funny that across both machines it is a persistent set of symptoms. On this iMac I did update 10.8.4. –> to 10.8.5 while FCP7 was installed.
When you mention updating or upgrading do you mean point increments e.g 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 ?
Or the major updates of OS 10.6 to 10.7 or 10.8 ?I will do a memory test today on the mac pro, I have done numerous drive tests. The only common thing across the 2 machines is a incremental point upgrade.
Let you know how we travel, thanks for your input!

10.6 and 10.7 I am having ‘this’ issue. Overall degrading performance until FCP7 is unusable and nothing apart from restarting the mac pro resolves it. At which point it scrubs and plays back to 2 external monitors …. and the cycle continues until performance is awful and I restart again. These are 422 and 422 HQ 1080 sequences matched to the source footage which is the same.
On a mac pro we have a SAS attached storage and have tried 2x Kona Lhe and Lhi.
On a new iMac (2012) with Thunderbolt storage and an AJA IO XT thunderbolt box.
Over time something gets worse and a restart fixes it. Seems to be the common denominator in this thread and as far as I can tell no one has gotten to the bottom of it??
Anyone? Bueller?

Hi Bob, thanks for sharing. Just curious about the rest of the hardware – what 10gb nics were you using and what storage? Interested in doing something similar with 3x edit suits using AJA IO XT, 27″ iMac.
Cheers,
