I'd like comments to these observations. Has anybody noticed this.

For me all the problems I have in DP4, CPU spiking,
my 828 firewire going dead == no activity lights while playing back sequences,
playback stutter and the famous SBFH etc.

Seems to crop up after I have been doing anything in midi. But I have yet to deduce a pattern to it all.

Just spent 5 hours straight with looping drum-patterns, Recording gtr-tracks, soundbite editing etc.
In a small project. Not a single hiccup. Processor cpu load way down low.

Just before this 5 hour strech I had to "force quit" DP4 in the same small project.
(listened to the midi-tracks & muted them to work the audio)
I did NOT even reboot my imac, just rebooted DP4.

I will post a follow up to this one - directly below - not to be too longwinded in a single post.

Cheers: Dixiechicken

After reformatting my harddrive "with zeros" but without drivers for OS 9. (on my iMac)
Reinstalling everything and applaying the DP4.0.1 update my problems seem to have vanished.
CPU usage is much more efficient.

Dont forget to turn off the screensaver and energy savings settings.
( I have activated the root account to be able to mount certain CD:s on the desktop - this is a bug in Mac OS X 10.2.6 combo-update )
