For best system performance, you need 15-20% free space on your system drive.

 

I suggest getting an external drive for your projects, depending on your computer it can be FW800, USB3, or Thunderbolt drive, with a rotational speed of 7200 rpm.

 

Also be aware Apple's default hard drives are a relatively slow 5400 rpm.

 

Hard drives are cheap, a larger faster system drive, would help performance, if you have the budget get a SSD for your system drive.

Thanks for the that, so it seems it is a processing power problem then?

A 5400 rpm HD is too slow for all the tasks you're asking of it. It has little to do with the computer's processing power

 

Free up some room on the drive so you have 20% free. So if you have a 1TB drive, make sure you have 200 gigs free.

 

Also, like said earlier, save your projects to an external HD the moment you create them. Don't put everything on the system drive.

 

And uncheck "put drive to sleep when possible".
