What version of FCP X and OS X?


Your media drive should plenty fast.

How much free space on the media drive?


You could start by deleting preferences: if you have a recent version, this can be done by holding down command and option keys while starting FCP X and confirming in the dialog that appears.


One other thing to try: create a brand new user account and try running on this account. If it works ok, you'll know that the problem lies in your normal account and not in the system or the application itself.
