Bought it last night -- up 'til 3 with 3 second slowness...

Hello,
After much thought and excitement I purchased Live 5.02 last night - and unfortunately was up very late
trying to resolve a basic concern, and didn't get further than that.
Which is -
when enabling a track for audio - i.e clicking the button red on a track (arming it) - there is a lag time of 2-3 real
seconds before it turns red. Also when I push a new click track to begin recording audio (through my Firewire 410)
there is another 3 second lag before the arrow operates, meanwhile I get the rainbow spinning-ball the Mac has when its bogged down
At the same time the timeclock on the bar doesn't move and then suddenly jumps ahead
to about 2.5 - 3.1 before beginning.
This had never occured whatsoever when using Live Lite 4,, which I've been using for a month
in preparation for this. When I tried Live 4 again last night, everything worked just fine - none of the above.
My laptop isn't the latest, but still should be more than up for it at this level.
It's an ibook 933 MHz G4 w/ 640 meg Ram running 10.4.3 - on top of that it now has a 7200 rpm internal hard drive,
which greatly improves performance....
Right now it feels like the program is unusable for the kind of quick acoustic recording, looping I want to do.
Maybe I'm missing something basic - but I can't imagine the record button should take 3 seconds to engage.
P.S.
Same thing with the beta this morning
