Hi Robert: Turn off the online DRC, or at least be more selective about what you enable the on-line DRC for - this should improve your performance. Also, the autosave takes a little while every 15 inutes or so - you can increase the time interval for that.
I run it on a PIII-500, and the performance is more than adequate for me. (Also, it's stable, efficient and productive).
