I have a 2011 i7 quad core Mac; I was hoping it would scream. Most of the time it does. However when trying to edit within FCPX I get a extremely unsatisfactory experience with many pauses if I don't close every single other program.
I have 8GB of physical memory and when I’m experiencing these troubles I observe that i still have 1-2 gb of physical memory free or inactive. At the same time FCPX is only using 2 GB of memory. I just come about to keep an eye on the VM page in/outs and observe them going up.
What is happening with physical memory?
