I've used VJD or Cue for almost 1 1/2 now... and for some reason when i'm in the middle of an gig my system slows down alot... almost where it's barely ahead of what is playing... this happens mainly on the left player... I'm using 4 1TB hard drives for my music. It seems the more songs I load the slower it'll eventually get but only on the left player. I'm using a decent laptop with 2gb memory and a core duo processor 1.86mhz. 256k Dedicated video memory. Most of the time i'm not even playing any videos. Any suggestions/settings/mods???

What else is running on your system besideds VDJ? Sounds like some other process is eating memory until it slows your system to a crawl.

Make sure that no other applications are running while you are doing your gig. Heat also slows down a laptop. Are you using a cooler?

symptons seem very similar to what i had a few months back of overheating, if it worked ok originally and its now just starting to play up check the inside of the casing and give it a clean out, that the fan(s) are kicking in first if that seems to be in order now check to see if your heat sink paste needs replacing this is what transfers the heat from processors to the gold or silver heatsinks (this was my problem) if there is no white/grey looking gungy paste just replace with a dab from a £2.50 syringe of the paste, luckily it cured my overheating.
at the present time i wouldn't go the cooler route until you have got to the route of the problem as these will only postpone the enivitable, try out everyones suggestions that you may think will work for you first

Is it possible that the left player is still holding onto some info? If it was heat, wouldn't he have the problem on both players? I don't know shit about the workings of the software, but it sounds like the player is not empty, when he tries to load a new track. Does that make sense?

could it be that every player is a separate thread on the processor. If that is the case then check the processor usuage on the laptop. It could also that on one processor there is simething else eating the power you can check that as well in Windows.
Be aware that their are 2 processors in one housing so cooling could still be an issue in combination with having every player on its own processor running. On some laptops you can actually see the temparture of the processor (bios).
