[Marcus Hardy] "As a stress test I imported and merged Kill Bill Parts 1 and 2, adding up to a 4 hour project (timeline) it stuttered quite a bit, but once rendered it was perfectly fine."
That's hardly a stress test. Loading in 4 hours of footage? Making a 4 hour timeline? That isn't a test. Feature films can have 40 to 300 hours of footage. And be hundreds, if not thousands of clips. Putting in a 4 hour movie is nothing.
[Marcus Hardy] "Case in point, FCPX as it stands now is capable of handling a project of a feature's length."
Sorry...that statement makes zero sense given your testing method. In order to test properly you need to load at least 75 hours of footage and break that footage up by scene and...basically all things involved in editing a film. Not dropping in a long movie and making a sequence out of it.
