There are a variety of minor issues that can be affecting your system's execution. One of the simplest solutions for increasing performance involves closing programs and files you aren't using. You can also eliminate sequences in the Time line that have already been edited. These objects will slow down processing speed just as they would if you were watching a video.

If you are having trouble acquiring or creating new new material, you may have limited space on your hard disks. It is necessary to have about 1/5 of this space available for temporary use by the application. Allowing this extra disk space will prevent your disks from slowing when files are being edited or transferred.

Performance problems can also stem from a lack of bandwidth or slower network connection. Utilize ethernet based shared storage systems for faster transfers with large files. Gigabit ethernet provides a customizable interface, expansive bandwidth and lower latency.
