Great point Roland. I also see a lot of people in that forum asking for realtime performance. I don't think that's going to happen, and if it does, it would be at the expense of customizability and flexibility. I don't need another Apple Motion. The hardware gap among users is too difficult to bridge to make any promise of realtime performance, because it's so hardware-dependent. I worry in order to fulfill a promise of "more speed" there would be lots of compromises, discarded effects and features a la the FCP X debacle.
