I'm getting very long merge times intermittently. I'm currently waiting on 25 minute stereo track to render. It's been 4 minutes and looks like it will be another 4 or so. Most times my Mac can do this in about a minute, but not always for some reason. The same project will sometimes render normally and other times take forever. Any idea whats's causing this?

Thanks!

Just to clarify: Are you merging soundbites? Approximately how many?

Just a few soundbites.

The sequence is quite CPU intensive. If I copy the soundbites to an empty Chunk I get normal merge-times (just a few seconds), so that’s a viable workaround, but I’ve never had do to that previously on large sequences - and it’s not always slow on this one. Do CPU intensive projects have slower render times for others? Bounce times are affected I know, but I’ve never noticed merge times being noticeably slower.

I have not noticed this phenomenon dix. But most of my DP projects are a lot shorter than 25 minutes, so there's that.
