Default PT 8 useless until fixed

PT 8 seems really great. An annoying problem prevents me from working, though. I work full time on many records at once and I really hope to get this fixed asap. DigiSupport?

Zoom and scroll is so slow, you sometimes even can count to seconds before anything happens. The OSX performance monitor shows a lot of activity when zooming. I've narrowed the problem down to something only explainable by DigiDesign by doing the following:

- No external devices but the session drive over FW 800. Not even iLok.
- All Plugins moved to unused and no plugs or elastic in session.
- Tried various processor usage alternatives in playback engine

I have 3gb of ram in a Dual 2,33 Mac Book Pro
Clean install of Leopard, then import from SuperDuper bootable clone
of my fully working Tiger / PT 7.4 including a lot of plugs.

(SoundToys, Arturia, NI Komplete 3, Autotune, DFH, Waves Gold 5)

When having less stuff more zoomed in on the screen, the problem is not there. Seems too much higher resolution waveforms causes this.
I guess we are looking at an upgrade soon. Think you can make the old waveform graphics an option in preferences? Or rather just fix the problem?

Warmest regards and a happy new year 2009
