I'm trying out the software on my 5k and when I click on a clip in timeline it's feel like a delay/freeze to update the options panels at right, which makes it annoying to edit properties on multiple clips. Some easy way to make it more responsive?

Could be a lot of things – the type of media, for example; third party software and insufficient free space are other possible causes.
Generally speaking, most users report better experiences with libraries and media stored on drives that are not their start-up disks. The media drive needs to be a fast drive (a RAID is desirable for multi-stream editing) and should have either a Thunderbolt or USB3 connection.
A 5K iMac should perform extremely well with the vast majority of kinds of FCP projects. If the media format is not unusual, if the system drive has at least 15% free space and you have the libraries stored on a good media drive, and you're still getting lagged response, change Quality to Better Performance (found in Viewer uppermost right hand drop-down). If you have any third party "cleaner", or performance-enhancing, or anti-virus software, try disabling that as well.
Good luck.

The thing is that I'm very satisfied that it works more or less perfect to play through my 4k/hires clips. It was just when I click on a clip and have to wait for the right panel for some few seconds to appear before I can edit any values, and make it little bit annoying when I want to edit a property on multiple clips. It felt more likesluggish interface update, otherwise I'm impressed that I can move the player-marker anywhere and watch playback/preview in realtime. I can investigate further if it's any plugin that can cause this.
What are the details of the clip format…including res, fps, codec, container and audio?
Quit and relaunch the application and delete preferences. Try a new project in a new library. Any improvement?

Sorry for late answer, actually it helped to restart everything. I have just been used to never restart the computer or programs with sleep mode, but it helped thanks.
kind regards
