[Avid-L2] slow down in performance with MC 7.0.4.3 (and 7.0.4.4 for that matter)

 

hi all

this one is stumping me: over the weekend my avid system (Nitris DX running 7.0.4.3 on OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro 3,1 early 2008 with 32GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, 500GB SSD boot drive) decided to act up in a new and interesting way. with a very undemanding project (:30 sec spot, 1080i, minimal layers) i'm getting stuttering, even just playing audio with video turned off, and at any timeline resolution setting. red marks are appearing at the top of the timeline. testing with another project has the same result. i had recently installed the 7.0.4.4 patch, so i uninstalled that and went back to 7.0.4.3 to no avail. repaired permissions, zapped the PRAM, etc. my media resides on an Avid VideoRAID SR connected via SAS and a Roarke RAID connected via fibre with FibreJet. this system has been running relatively trouble-free for several years (with minor bumps along the way) and yes, it is due for an overhaul once i make the myriad decisions on the transition to the trash can. i've run out of ideas, and before i make my service call i thought i'd see if there is something simple i've missed.
cheers
