It's just optimization in general, helped for low-latency on OS X since it has the weird issue compared to Windows with speed scaling, but you're right that it's mostly for 4+ cores. Still nice to have it a bit more powerful on my C2D before I swap sessions over to the big machine.
I was just going by what Jeff said above. Hopefully even on a 2 core machine I'll gain something. With this new release, I'd like to set up my mastering chain in a new session but import it onto the master bus for final printing to save time if I can get it to work how I want.
The performance updates are very noticeable on my 4 core Mac. And I already thought Cubase was incredibly fast before, this is really amazing!!
I love the UI workflow enhancements, but I'm not sure about what they did with the fonts and the anti-aliasing of different UI elements. In many cases it reduces clarity rather than enhancing it. It took me about 15 minutes of experimentation to set the colors to where I was happy again.
Absolutely no issues or bugs at all here so far. If anything it seems even more rock solid than before.

Nothing but frustration for me so far. I can't open any of my Cubase 5.1 projects. It hangs while loading all the mixer channels. Uninstalling now....
I did find this, but looks like far too much trouble to go through right now.

it just fucked everything up for me. projects loaded fast as hell but they crashed in 10 seconds. plugins stopped working, constant hard disc overload, etc. ill stay on 5.0

I had to reinstall a few plugins, and you need to run it in Admin mode!!! Truthfully, the update hasnt made much of an impact on me. Im neutral about the interface tweaks, and on my I7 I dont notice any different CPU usage really. Ive got an I7 OC'd to 4.2 however, so I really dont have too many issues either way

Still having zero issues, and is more stable than the last one. Installed W7 on my Q6600 machine tomorrow, will see how it fares on that machine.
I will say, anyone familiar with slip-editing drums in Cubase can tell you that things start to slow down with a ton of cuts everywhere, Cubase having to calculate every crossfade and whatnot. It isn't totally gone, but it is waaaay reduced. Made it through more than one full song today without having to consolidate before finishing an entire track!

Lover of all boobage.
I don't really notice anything different. It's not worse in terms of speed/cpu usage, so that's good. The biggest boon for me is that templates and presets are saving now, which I could never get to work with both 5.0 and 5.1.
is it really that hard? i´m still on nuendo 3 on a pentium 4 running at 3,2 ghz and i never had any problem with hundreds of cuts. i thought of switching back to cubase but i don´t want to get anything less than i have now with n3.
do i get less when i switch from n3 to cubase 5? what abouth the vari audio function? does it sound good? i mean REALLY good?
the pitch shifting and melodyne like editing would be the only reason for me to switch to c5.

I don't mean hundreds of cuts... I mean like snips at every single drum hit in the song - upwards of 1000 in most cases.
I personally think the plugin dragging feature is worth the upgrade, but I use the vari audio function a fair bit.
that´s what i meant, too.
any opinions on switching from nuendo 3 to cubase 5?
i don´t need all the video editing stuff from nuendo but i don´t want to "downgrade" and get less from cubase than i have now with nuendo.

Can't remember the last time I had to consolidate as I went with editing in PT. I do a whole song in one pass, then let it batch fade for like 15 minutes after, haha.
Anyway, I'm steering clear of this update for a little while. I can't afford to have anything potentially break my sessions at the moment.
