As far as I can tell (on a G4/400) Logic 7 particularly takes a long time 
responding to keypresses and clicks in the arrange window, but this delay 
depends on the number of tracks you're using. Actually this delay is so 
consistent (and seems so unnecessary) that it looks like a bug in the 
eventhandler or something, instead of a real performance issue. (However, on 
a G5 the delay is not noticeable). I haven't really noticed a performance 
difference between 7 and 5 (I skipped 6) with regards to plugins etc, but I 
haven't really carefully compared them.

Overall I find it usable on my humble G4 but slightly annoying on larger 
projects. :o) A G5 is planned though, but mostly because I want to make much 
more use of softsynths and the heavier effects than I did so far.

(A single Guitar Amp Pro instance without anything else going on, eats 1/3 of 
my processor power, or 2/3 if I use the spring reverb on it). :o)
