I'm going crazy with the same problem and I have the latest OS. I've reformatted my drive a dozen times only to have it perform decently for a day or two. If you find any long lasting solutions please let me know as this is driving me crazy. :|

I found this in the release notes for the latest OS update. It states that it fixed the problem. I wouldn't know because since the beginning I've gotten used to working around the issue. I work around it by never saving under the Root, never overwriting existing files, and If I make changes to a sequence or program I either save everything under a new name or new folder.

Hopefully I understood your question and was able to help. If I'm wrong, Someone correct me and help the man out.
