Pretty much exactly. Just that Cubase manages to run that bad on what I think is still a rather decent laptop.

Don't get me wrong, I think Cubase is a very capable program. Under Windows, that is. Under OSX efficiency is a joke, to say the least. It always has been like this.
I'm fine with that, simply because I'm thinking of leaving OSX in a while, so my next music machine might as well be a Windows machine. Yet, it's a little dissapointing that Steinberg don't seem to get their Mac act together since ages. I still think that the idea of an x-platform sequencer is a good one... but well, yeah, Apple is having their fair share in this to not ever happen again, too.
