Resetting FCPX Preferences Sure Helped Me.

I don't have a question, I just make this observation in solving a problem:
I have a mid-2010 MBP w/8GB, i7 and 2 upgraded drives (removing DVD drive).
The past couple weeks performance seemed lacking, but you know how it is, you just keep plugging away. Today I was trying to Optimize about 20 minutes worth of clips in an Event. Fans full speed ahead, the percent meter not moving off 0 for about 20 minutes.

As part of troubleshooting steps I see all the time on this forum, -reset FCPX Preferences- is a common theme. I have just done that and I feel like I have a new computer! AVCHD > Optimized 422 in a couple minutes.

Also, I use Preference Manager, a handy free utility mentioned here many times as well, from Digital Rebellion. this means you don't have to muck around in the Finder, Library folder to get at the Preferences files:
