How To: Prevent Audition from taking forever to copy/paste, or stalling crashing after a copy/paste!

The Problem Child: 

After 2 weeks of many tears, and an overwhelming feeling of regret. i have found the issue to my huge "adobe audition taking more than 30 minutes to copy/paste a 1 second clip!" issue. it wasnt that my computer didnt support avx2, it wasnt my processor, or my OS which was, and still is windows 11. it wasnt the 3 different pc's i tried and failed to use audition on..

My project started out fluid, working just fine until i got about 12 hours total, over the course of 2 days into editing audio, and things crashed to a halt!

oh...no. my finished narration is due on the 13th, thats 6 days from now, and audition stalls, and dies if i even so much as think about pasting audio! i quickly spiraled and felt my dreams of becoming an independent audible narrator wash down the sink with my lost hopes and dreams.

so i order another pc. yes, foolish of me, but in the end everything worked out for the better, and less stressful. my issue? MARKERS. no not actual drawing markers, but M the shortcut to add a marker in my project to mark where i needed to be. i quickly and very mindlessly let them add up, until the program just couldnt take the work load of accounting for all 5000 of them...yes, you heard me right, 5000 markers, at least, that i had just left behind as i worked, because when you copy/paste audio away from the other side of said marker, it stays at the end of the narration silently stacking on top of one another, until the program is just overwhelmed and crashes if you paste. crying, silently begging you to remember all 5000 of them huddled together in the corner.

The Resolve. and my heart jumps..

This is a wild bug, but There is a window called markers. right click on one in the history and delete all cue markers. it will run at the speed of light i had over like 1000 by accident i wasnt paying attention. runs like silk now, keep mind of your que markers, and delete them when your done with that section, or else.
