Nuendo 8 performs sluggish

Just installed and looking at the new interface, my compliments, looks great guys!

No! It doesn’t look good.
Nuendo is rapidly starting to look more and more like Logic Pro X – and (worst of all) it’s starting to perform just as bad as Logic Pro X .
Steinberg is obviously trading the wrong values. The focus should be on performance, not on appearance.
N6.5 is, in my opinion, still the best performer ever from Steinberg.
Steinberg should look to Pro Tools (not to Logic Pro X) when they are “upgrading”. Then maybe we could get a real upgrade instead of a sluggishly performing makeover.
