Audio Muting and Other Operations Unbelievably Slow To Respond

Question

See my computer profile -- I'm running what should be a blazingly fast system. However, modifying playback response of audio tracks (muting, for one) sometimes takes several seconds to occur. Wondering if anyone else experiences the same sluggish results:
1. If several audio tracks are playing and you mute a track using the mute tool, it takes several seconds for the mute to occur -- far from instantaneous.
Exception #1: Muting the track at the Mixer level results in near instantaneous muting.
Exception #2: If you stop playback of Logic, quickly mute the desired track(s) and then hit "continue", the muting occurs immediately and playback progresses as expected.
2. Cycle=On and the SPL is approaching the right locator. You change the right locator to a greater value before the SPL reaches the previously set value. The SPL will advance forward, as expected, but the audio (never MIDI) will actually play back from the left locator for several seconds before jumping ahead to play the audio at the present SPL location.
These several-second delays seem abnormal. Wondering if it is...

iSchwartz,
It's not a problem. I wasn't sure if something I said had ruffled some feathers- I didn't take your response personally and your response confirmed that. I hadn't assumed that you had bad intentions and walked away giving you the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't personal. Was just trying to clear up the grey area because it was not my intent to upset, but inform (for you and anybody else with these problems). Hey, I've got a sarcastic side to me as well! One of the big drawbacks about typing/writing is the inflection and some of the intention is lost-and leaves room for interpretation. I'll admit I look at things from an unorthodox perspective. I see very few things in Black and White.
I don't know Gerhardt personally (I do know who he is, of course). Regardless, that was flattering. I should spend more time on music and recording-lately I have spent alot of time here. But I am usually multitasking so...there's my excuse.
Speaking of advancements, I see you are on 7.1.1. It may be too early for me to say-but 7.2 has been the best version of Logic 7.x-hands down. This is just using my computers and as it has not been available very long, but it is gr8 here. Getting bugs out and making Logic more modern (if there is legacy code, etc.) and stable is my #1 request for Logic Team. And this update I feel really adressed that. I can't remember 7.2 crashing on me (save user abuse or 3rd party plugs bringing things down). If you want more stability and speed in your pro environment- I highly recommend that $50 upgd. BUT ask others how it has been for them. 7.2 makes me rave-I can't explain it. btw, I don't work for Apple.
I get frustrated as well, no offense taken. I hope you get the muting as responsive to your liking. I have much respect for you as well. See you soon iSchwartz.
