Why is Live so slooooow?!?
Compared to all other sequencers I've used, Live is very slow when doing simpler tasks like:
- moving clips in arrange view
- setting input & output buses
- duplicating events
My computer is up to speed okay, but it takes around 8 seconds for me to select a clip & drag it elsewhere. Anyone else getting this obscurity?

Have you done a proper reformat of your system? Are you running anything intensive in the bckground?
Try this out too.

Adam Jay is a genius. Compare your system specs to one already tested to see how your performance test should be.

Live has always has been a bit slow when moving clips around in the arrange view and still is in version 5.
I just love it when I accidentally select everything and moving it.
You can always cut, copy and paste.

live just responds slowly with these things.
I figure it is because the focus of the program is for live use and it is putting the audio WAY ahead in priority over GUI and copy and paste type features. Also it is slow to move things but once you let go of the mouse and have them in place the response is instant. Again I just think it is the way it is designed.

My default template has 24 audio tracks and 8 midi tracks. Even with only 1 clip in arrange view it still takes about 10-15 seconds to pick up a clip and drop it.
I was getting top performance in the live 5 performance test on my setup too...
Its painful going to cubase and seeing how instant the clip movements are

Dont take the advice of reformatting your drive. Bottom line is Live is a heavy CPU beast and you will just have to live with it im afraid.
