I recall Peter Gannon describing what the new version does to increase Real Track generation speed.

Several posters here mentioned they are using Windows XP. The tip about optimizing for background services has been around since at least Windows XP. For anyone using Windows 7, I'm not certain it applies now to Windows 7. The chief technical officer at Cakewalk, which makes SONAR, said a few months back that we SONAR users should NOT do this tweak. As a result, I haven't even looked to see if you can do it in Windows 7.
