Final Cut Pro Problem-Need Help Troubleshooting

Hello,

Here's the problem, the best I can explain it:

In every editing session - after a hundred or so moves (edits, plays, anything) - the Final Cut program gets very "sticky." Every command has a delay, and the longer I'm at it, the longer the delay becomes. Quitting the application and restarting it seems to be the only way to get the program up to speed, but the problem is consistent, and every day of editing requires about 20 or so quits and restarts. There's no serious problem that gets in the way of getting the job done, but it's become an annoying impediment to productivity.

My guess is that it's memory related, but I have not found anything to pinpoint what exactly. I've looked into Activity Monitor and even gone so far as to quit background and unused operations, but that doesn't seem to do anything either.

Please let me know if you need me to explain further. Anything you can offer would be of great help.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Specs:
Final Cut Pro 4.5
Dual 1.8 GHz
2 GB Ram
Media on external Firewire drive
