FCP has really evolved from the first version, and there a lot more features in version 4, than in version 1. Also FCP is not meant to be on a pro mac, not a consumer mac. So you are obviously going to get poor performance on a consumer type mac. In FCP 4, a lot of the rending stuff is real time or close to real time on a high-end g4 or a g5.

True, I heard that FCP 4 is alot like Avid, havn't seen it yet though.
For a long time I used FCP I have used versions 1,2, and 3. I am not dissatified with FCP but dissatified with macs. They are too expensive compared to simalarly equipped PCs. This does not make financial sense to me. Also I am using Premire Pro right now and it is very much better then previous versions. Its almost better then Avid and FCP, my other favorites. And its alot cheaper.
Good luck this year
