Project has to 'reload' each time I tab away and tab back to Vegas

I'm using 20 but it's been the same for as long as I can remember. I have this one wedding with a 4 hour ceremony, 4 camera tracks, heavy footage (HEVC 4:2:2) mixed cameras, canon, panasonic. And when I tab out or switch to any different window the project literally crunches the hard drive for 3 MINUTES before letting me click anything again. Then it's perfectly fine until I click away and come back. I'll be editing this on an ssd so it will be MUCH better but sometimes I just need to open a project from the actual mechanical HD to look at the project. 95% of my projects don't do this. It just seems like there's a threshold at a certain point where Vegas struggles more with this. (very large projects). My question is this:

Is there a way to alleviate this? My system memory of 64GB is not even half full. Would increasing the dynamic ram preview do anything? I'm assuming no. It's not a HUGE issue, it just get's tiresome if I waste 30 minutes of my day from just checking an email then tabbing back to Vegas as it reloads for 3 minutes. My guess is that this is just the way it is with a project that size.

Unchecking this preference should do the trick for you.

My god I think this did it for me. Now I'm only depressed about all the minutes of my life wasted waiting for projects to reload when tabbing back lol. wow Makes me wonder what other sort of magic settings I don't know about.

I understand the frustration with waiting for projects to reload. Discovering hidden settings can indeed be a game-changer. Exploring more features might reveal additional shortcuts and optimizations to enhance your experience.
