[RWP] Weird laggy performance issue

[Scott Chesworth]

Oreo: hahaha, I see that you remember which OS I'm using old chap.
Yep, forgot to mention it because it kinda goes without saying, but
several restarts did happen along the way.

Chris: So far as I know Reaper doesn't have that feature. I attempted
a similar process by bypassing and selectively adding stuff again
until it broke, but even with everything bypassed it was still being
kinda cranky. In the end I burned through an hour or so rendering out
the stuff I'd spent time on and rebuilt the project. Annoying, but
what can you do. I'm hazarding a guess, but I think something to do
with delay compensation got its knickers in a knot, that's what it
felt like anyway.

Thanks for the tips, and if anyone has stuff to add keep 'em coming as
I'd love to get to the bottom of this for next time.
