Hmmm... Wondering if anyone else has found a super slow install time for FCS 2 on the new (Jan '08) Mac Pro. I got mine today (stock 8 core, with 320GB HD, 10GB of RAM). Final Cut Install is taking about 4 hours to complete. On my C2D MBP it took 1 hour. This is crazy. The rest of the computer seems responsive, its still installing so I can't run a speed test yet, but wanted to see if anyone else had found this?
 
the install completed fine and the computer is running great. When I did a aja system speed test, the stock drive scored around 64 MB/s read and write. Not screaming fast but not dog slow either. Guess its something with the copying from DVD to HD. Will keep monitoring it.
