I've got a large iMovie project and it's become almost impossible to use. Operations as simple as saving can take 20-40 seconds. If I try to under a clip split, it thinks for maybe 30-45 seconds and then just quits (no error report, no error at all, just goes away).

Is there anything I can do that will optimize the performance? I don't have a lot of time, so ordering more RAM or something is out of the question. (I already have 1.5GB and it's soaking every bit of it - I quit all other apps to run iMovie.) Are there settings I can turn off? There are very few settings.
