Not very surprising. Why are you not on Jag? It's significantly faster 
than 10.1.5. Also, how much memory have you got running on that machine?

FCP is a significantly different -- and some would say more complicated 
-- program than iMovie. I would guess it would perform at around the 
same speed as iMovie. Perhaps adding RAM or using a large, FW dedicated 
drive would make more a difference.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that 
we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only 
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American 
public." -- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
