I disabled it and it was faster, which is ridiculous if you ask me. It's not exactly a luxury anymore to have nice-looking text on your screen, is it? Weird you can't have this smooth type in Logic without having to sacrifice snappyness. But still Logic isn't snappy. It can take lots of seconds (you really have to wait a while) to just make a selection in the arrange for example. With the latest update (Logic or MacOS X 10.3, don't know which is to blame) it's become worse. Journaling is set off, so it can't be that. > dual 1.25 / 1.25GB ram > OSX 10.3.1 > LAP 6.3.2 > RME DSP Multiface Maybe this is the problem, because I have the RME DSP Multiface as well. RME gives horrible support to the Mac-platform. Their latest driver took ages and maybe you've noticed the arrogance of the programmers on their newsgroup? Maybe their driver isn't working properly. They blame Apple for it, which I don't entirely believe because other manufacterers can make good drivers, so why can't they? Maybe others can comment if a bad driver by RME can be the problem for the lack of snappyness in Logic. Remco
