Premiere CC is slow/inefficient when opening/saving

Question

See the thread here on reduser. APP 8.1 is slow to open/save, making thousands of reads or writes on the project file for most of the time vs. making smaller, smarter reads/writes.
Even saving w/o making any changes can take minutes, when APP should understand what changed and only process that (should take milliseconds).
Any insight on why things are so slow? I feel like it's gotten worse with the latest CC updates. Do developers/product managers monitor this or how can I get this investigated? Happy to provide files, stats, etc. This is killing my productivity.
Thanks,
Luke

Answer 1

Well - as for my original problem -
I’ve made some testing and for now had no real progress as far as normal exporting.
1 .The mercury GPU is working on all testing
2. For a 75 minutes of Panasonic MTS with very basic transitions - exporting to AVI DV PAL wide and to MPEG2-DVD Pal - more the 3 hours
3. Tried same footage with maximum render quality - same results.
4. Tried with use previews - same results.  (The project has the yellow line; I did not try to render into green)
5. In some cases, when trying to export to other formats, I received “error compiling movie” this seems to be related to the maximum render quality switch - I have a feeling that this has something to do with the GPU acceleration.
Now as I write this message – I am trying something new:
I marked the “match sequence settings” on the top of the export windows” this yielded a “new” exporting format name “mpeg preview” that has same frame size ,frame rate and field order as the original footage”
It worked fast and was ready in about 20 minutes or so.
Using the AME to convert this to mpeg2 DVD also was fast.
The only question – what will be the final quality when burning DVD?!
I can’t answer that now since I have a burner problem and only tomorrow I will be able to replace it and gaze on the results of this experiment.
I will, of course, update as soon as I can.
I do hope someone (adobe guys?!) will do something about solving these frustrating issue.
