Re: So I finally left Snow Leopard and went to PT11 and Yosemite. Sadness ensues
Have you tried different monitor resolutions? I know it's not ideal because you probably like your current configuration but finding the display's sweet spot can improve meter ballistics. Try lower resolution, of course, but also higher. In one case, increasing resolution is what brought the meters back to normal.

Re: So I finally left Snow Leopard and went to PT11 and Yosemite. Sadness ensues
Who do you know that is having success with this model or older running PT11 or PT12? I had a quad 2.8ghz 5,1 and it was not enough to handle either 11 or 12 without major lag issues. I recently upgraded the CPUs in it to a six-core 3.46ghz and it's running much more smoothly now, so my guess is that you just don't have the CPU horsepower to run what you're trying to run with that machine. Also 14gb of RAM is pretty low these days. I'd say 16gb is the minimum, 32gb or more is much better.

Re: So I finally left Snow Leopard and went to PT11 and Yosemite. Sadness ensues
I see several users on the DUC and on this particular forum as well that have zero issues with systems older than mine. Like I said, my CPU usage is very minimal. I just have crashes all the time. It feels like a software issue to me. And I'm getting crashes with hardly running plugs or high track count. I'd love to try an update to 11 without having to go to 12. I don't want to pay for an upgrade just so I can have software that works. I miss PT 10 and snow leopard a lot but I love having offline bounce and being able to access my ram and processors.

Have you tried removing any third-party plugins and testing without them? I know there have been some users reporting choppy meters with plugins like AirEQ...

Now that the Chief said something it made me remember that the graphics cards were causing some problems awhile back for some users when upgrading from older machines. That's a pretty easy thing to check - and upgrade

Right now this is what Graphics card I'm running along with Quartz Debug with Beam Sync off. This seems to help, but the meters are still slow and pro tools still crashes sadly.

Re: So I finally left Snow Leopard and went to PT11 and Yosemite. Sadness ensues
I think I had that 120 years ago......it's a basic card with little to no real acceleration, which newer OS's require
I upgraded to a GTX 760 and couldn't be happier

While your doing that I would recommend 2 SSD's (high performers) for your main drive and your record target
If you want to tweak some more life out of an older system
