nubie here, i have some questions.

i have a couple of computers.  amd 8 core 12gigs and duel i7eight cores with 64gigs.  why is typemonkey so damn slow on both machines?  is there anything i can do? also, i have a wall-o-text that i'd like to break up into sections and work with pre-comps in a timeline.   is there a way to precomp typemonkey?  i keep getting errors and the comp is irrevocably damaged.

thank you for any and all help you can provide.  d.
