Specifying keyframes has become very slow and cluncky

When I click on keyframe for either an image or video in the timeline, it takes about 9-10 seconds for the keyframe parameters to come up. During that time, the sides of the PD window draw in slightly and then re-expand, It gets worse if I have keyframe up for one image/video and click on another without closing out keyframe first. The system goes thru the same process but takes anywhere from 12 to 20 seconds to finally close out the keyframe for the first image/video and open the second one. During that time for PD the CPU is running at 85%-90% and then drops down into the mid 70's following.

It doesn't seem to create a problem other than it is quite annoying to sit there waiting. I do alot of keyframe manipulation.

The DxDiag test results will give us much more insight into your system.

In your other post you mention working with multiple clips, but it's unclear if you're using shadow files, which can slow down your system (and PD's response) if it's busy generating them when you're starting to edit. If you're using them, try waiting until all the yellow icons on the clips in the media library turn green.
