[Andrew Richards] "The reason no other NLE has these problems is they are only writing to a flat project file upon user command, not constantly writing to a database for every little action the user takes in the app."
I seem to remember that Fast/Liquid was in a constant save condition AND it had true background rendering. Not bad for a 32-bit Windows app that had none of these issues, as I recall.
It might be that part of the problem with X is that it's actually writing several databases for the Events and Projects. Not just a single project file. One thing I noticed was that when I was adding a lot of favorites (which included writing the selection to a smart collection in parallel) was that it was quite easy for me, as the operator, to outrun the application.
