Yeah but it's been that way since the Soundtools/Digi days before Avid swallowed them. In the 90s until today most gigs I'm on are still a few OS and PT versions behind. No matter how many years go by that seems to be the case for many large/mission critical users. We kept an old Tupperware Mac online for several years after it was supported. It's so that many of us have switched tools even though I think Avid is better these days. We use Nuendo to track and mix to picture, PT for some things, and Live for writing, arranging and playback systems. I cut my teeth on 1" 16 track and 2" 24 so I like the music style workflow of PT but these days it's easier to to change the workflow than hassle with the tool. My focus is the art. The tool is only a means to the art.

However, I've moved to a freeze/commit workflow with VI's in PT, so it's all good, and overall things feel a bit snappier.

YMMV...

VE Pro is a lifesaver. I run the VST version of Omnisphere and other heavy VI's on VEP. That definitely removes a lot of the load off PT, so you can run more tracks and plugins.

+1 for VEPro on even a single machine. There's some stuff in UVI Falcon that bogs down PT and that's where VEPro comes into play. Especially if I'm working on several pieces that use the same instruments. And if you work with it uncoupled that eases things as well.

Yes, Vep is a useful tool that I use everyday. The only issue is that it adds at least 512 samples of latency. When play a VI for programming is very annoying

I don't use VEPro when actually playing in music and capturing the MIDI. That vi runs in PT and when done with that it goes into VEPro.
