Hi Matt, no I don't think so. I bought BIAB December 31 2013 and partly because of the delay in real track generation I upgraded my PC this year from intel quad core 3ghz to I7 6 core 3.2ghz with new motherboard, ram hdd etc etc. it was an expensive build all in. so I had to do a full reinstall on a new hard drive. Same problem only a little faster. This new version is definitely faster in the areas that matter. I think this is partly because BIAB 2014 has previews in style picker - makes a big difference. But even opening existing songs are almost instant.
