Once you get used to it, the new way to do CCs is much better, much
more flexible. I personally disliked the old bars and found them
clumsy to use. You can still delete multiple points, just select and
then delete with the "delete" tool (same as used for events in the
piano roll). One thing I think would be helpful for the controller
rulers would be for the barlines from the matrix to be extended down
below on the ruler, so you can align controller points to beats.

Don't see this problem myself. Now that Rosegarden no longer relies on
KDE it starts right up for me, and I am using a pretty old machine
with only 2G of RAM. I'm not using any synth plugins, however, or any
other plugins with Rosegarden, for that matter (and I have a ton of
LADSPA plugins on my machine)

What version are RG you using? Specs of your machine? Do you compile
from source or use distro supplied RG? I've found Rosegarden to be
fairly stable, and have put it through some pretty heavy orchestral
pieces in the past year with very few crashes.
