After dealing with huge hang times and freezes constantly on 9, while support just tells me to re-install live, I decided to switch back to 8 and it feels great. I ordered a new hard drive hoping that'd help some of the issues, but I'm starting to think I'll just stick to 8 for a while because I'm getting a lot more done. Maybe then throw my projects in 9 for tweaking. I have a really awesome computer, I hope they add performance improvements with the new features they release in 9.1 otherwise I feel like I wasted my money.

I am wondering if live 8 had these problems in the early going and then eventually got improved over time?

IMO Live9.0 was much more stable than Live8.0.

Yeah, Live 9 has made me completely forgotten about stability issues from 8.

I'm probably jinxing myself, but I can't remember the last time I had a crash, even on the 9.1 betas
