caption system is atrocious, grind-to-a-halt, creator killer

This caption system is not ready for prime time. It's atrocious. It grinds the system to a halt after you edit a caption -- for some reason unknown to me--even after shutting down any other applications running on the PC, it is impossible to work with. Simply freezes up the entire app for 20 seconds at a time once you finish editing a caption.

Here's a video demoing the issue with text overlays. Watch the program window and see how the text is drawing on the video--see how long it takes?

I wasnt. Although I also tried the beta to see if it was fixed and it wasnt. 
 
It seems to do with rendering of text overlays- I can see each caption I revise take forever to appear over video as I type.
 
What is causing text on top of video to be so slow.
