How to deal with lag in FCPX?

Hello to all.

I have been observing a lag while editing on the timeline of late. Was there earlier too but seems to have increased after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.4 and 10.2.1 version of FCPX.

I have turned off background render but yet the application is annoyingly slow to respond to commands.

[iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011; Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory: 12 GB; Graphics AMD Radeon 6750M 512 MB]

Is there any way to shift gears?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Luis! Thanks for still hanging on to me and this thread! You have blessed me with your counsel. Even if I were to spend a whole week trying to get to know which laptop would meet my need, I would not be able to know what would serve my purpose!
