[RWP] reaper running slow

[colin McDonald]

I know.
I do all those things on a regular basis.
But I know it's a $200 net book and it's not going to be a DAW power house 
lol.
Also, I tend to have audio scattered across the network, and if I am 
accessing the audio from a folder, via the network, on another machine, 
it'll lag down as well because reaper is having to access the audio over the 
network which is presumably slower than directly from the hard drive.
So now I make sure the audio I want to work with is stored in a folder on 
the machine I am using reaper on.

Regards
Colin
