I defraged my system and all seems fine now.on windows based systems when you install programs and download files by default it sprays it all over (anywhere it can find space without regard as to where it is needed). LOR could be somewhere near the boot sector (or beginning) of your hard disk but the song you are sequencing could be somewhere in south BFE. The read right heads have to travel back and forth loading the program and then playing the song. that is where the "lag" comes from.defrag takes the drive and puts things "together". your LOR software is right next door to you LOR sequences and music - NO more taking the bus!!LOLdepending on how much you use your computer you should defrag at least once a month (once a week if you do a ton of uploading and downloading and deleting).
