There should be no difference between PT and RB in speed or stability, given that they are 99% the same code. PowerTracks is developed from RealBand.

Hi Simon.
Surely Realband was developed from Powertracks?
I can only speak from my experience and Realband is a few seconds behind Powertracks, mainly as I said earlier, because of its need to "initialise accompaniment functions" which it usually does on boot, (but sometimes at a later random time).
As for stability, I can't remember the last time PT crashed, but I do have RB hang on occasions.
At the end of the day, I love both programs, so no criticism was intended.
No criticism taken!

PowerTracks was originally the basis for RealBand, but at some point development switched to focus on RealBand first. It's likely the "initialise accompaniment functions" is responsible for your slowdowns, as you mentioned.
