Possible to archive tracks in VP8?

I've got a project where I'm working with multiple angles of the same event - around 10 files. However apparently even when an audio or video track is muted VP8 is reading all video and audio tracks and it quickly bogs the system - I assume hard drive read speed is the primary bottleneck. I've got the video files I'm using on two different drives but this still doesn't cure the problem.

Is there something similar to Cakewalk where tracks marked as "Archive" aren't read by the system? I don't see anything like that within the track options.

I do not have this problem. For me, Vegas acts like muted tracks and their material do not exist in the project while rendering.

"...Did you mute the event or the track?..."

I only see one mute button - a circle with a slash through it symbol in both the audio and video tracks. No mute event selection that I see.

The problem seems to stem from the fact that one of the drives I was using is a WD "Green" drive, which as I understand it runs at 5400 rpm. Not sure why this would be a problem since individual video files will play off the Green drive in other apps but apparently causes a bottleneck when combined with other drives running Vegas Pro8.

When I copied the files and replaced the Green drive with a "regular" IDE drive, the issue disappeared.
