I just downloaded the new beta of Vegas Video, and, among 
other things, I noticed a dramatic increase in performance 
compared to Vegas Pro when firing up an old project. I was 
even more satisfied to notice that my old Vegas Pro had got 
a similar speed boost. Very nice =)
However. 
I'm on a very limited budget, and will almost certainly not 
do any video multitracking, so there is not much 
featurewise that can convince me to buy Vegas Video for the 
moment. My question is:
Is this performance boost intentional, to persuade Vegas 
Pro users to upgrade to Vegas Video, or can we expect an 
update of the Vegas Pro core too? I choose to believe in 
the latter, since I don't recognize these dirty tricks as 
the style of Sonic Foundry, but I'd really appreciate an 
answer on this.
