Well the jump from 400 to 1250 MHz could very well be enough to hide the 
problem.

The message you responded to is pretty old, but yes that was my situation at 
the time. :o) Now I have a dual G5, I am addicted to softsynths and heavy 
plugins.

Anyway when I used the G4, I didn't run out of processing power noticeably 
sooner than with Logic 5.5, so that wasn't the problem. It was really just 
the slow response that bugged me, and I really think it's just an unnecessary 
loop that happens every time you click something in the arrange window. On my 
G5 I don't notice it anymore but it wouldn't surprise me if the problem comes 
back if you have enough tracks, like Ben just mentioned. You just need a lot 
more tracks to see it than on a slow G4. :o)
