I've noticed more and more that if I'm working in Vegas and switch to another app and then switch back to Vegas, it has to sit there thinking for a long time (I timed it at 29 seconds). During that time it shows up in task manager as "not responding" and is not able to repaint its screen. But it does come back.
For example, I have just two apps running now (P4 1.8GHz 512MB RAM 140GB 7200RPM), VV3 and IE6. When I switch to this window to type this message, and then switch back to Vegas, it's unresponsive for half a minute. I can do it again and again. It ALWAYS takes 29 seconds before it can respond again, even if I do nothing in either app, only switch between them.
For this example I had a 35 minute video on the timeline.
