You and I have pretty similar systems, I believe.  After you raved about your Pr experiences here, I bought a Quadro 4000.  I do get good performance with intraframe codecs, but almost uniformly bad with anything MPEG-based.

I wonder what accounts for the difference in performance.

I've read several stories like mine on the Adobe Pr forum.  It seems many of us have to transcode to ProRes in order to get snappy and reliable playing and scrubbing.

I had an exception, though.  I got a job just this afternoon with one thirteen minute H.264 720 clip, and scrubbing is silky on it.  

I cut a short last summer that was shot on a 7D, and when I tried to play or scrub any clips in Pr, my 8-cores maxed, and wouldn't shuttle well at all.

I'm perplexed.

I still transcode to ProRes if I need to get work done in a time frame I can manage.  Half the time I scrub in Pr with Long-GOP, the video doesn't update, either at all, or at a rate above 2 FPS.
