Subject:Is ACID slower than Vegas?

I recently started to use ACID 7 for audio production. I was using Vegas 5 before that. With Vegas, I found the response time for keyboard shortcut commands to be great for multitracking. With ACID, I often find that I can enter keyboard commands faster than the app can receive them. Also, with ACID, it spends so much time autosaving that I seem to be waiting for it. Sometimes, when I use CTRL+S to save, I'm waiting for the autosave to complete and then for the actual save to complete before I can start the timeline running again! Kind of a drag.

What's going on behind the scenes with ACID that I might be able to modify to increase performance?

In ACID, none of my audio is beatmapped, but I'm running 6-8 midi tracks out to an external synth module.
