I've been using audacity from the Fedora repo on my FC5 system since a

badly broke it. With a 30s chunk of generated audio, it seems ok, but
with any audio read from a file, the GUI has a terrible lag. E.g if I
click on the track to place the cursor, there is a ~1 second lag before
the audio cursor appears, and during that 1s, the CPU is pegged. As I
add more audio to the project, the delay gets longer and longer. With 45
minutes of audio, the interface delay is 5-6s and the CPU is at 100%
almost constantly. It's nearly impossible to work with the program at
that point.
Is anyone having better success? Does it work better on FC6/7?
I use it on FC7 and it works wonders! I use the livna repo version (nonfree).
Any ideas for debugging or fixing this?
