Edius X: Very, very slow waveform creation!

Huston, we have a problem
I just loaded 103 XDCAM HD clips totaling 5 hours to EDIUS 9 bin and started stopwatch, waveform generation took 2 min and 15 sec
then I deleted the waveform files and opened the project in EDIUS X (same PC)
waveform generation took 9min and 38 sec
I am reporting this now as this is unacceptable

I am interested in your news workflow in Italy. Do you save things to a large network shared drive or some kind of MAM or SAN so that others can work from the same files or do you keep your files locally in a computer and you are the only one that works on them?

I will do a comparison test to see how long 9 takes versus X
I have both on the same PC so it will be a fair comparison

It's useful to clarify that my workflow with XDCAM HD files has always been the following:
1) - creating an XDCAM folder on my SSD for every news gathering job (from 4 to 6 and sometimes more, every day);
2) - ingesting my footage to proper folders via Sony's Catalyst Browse software;
3) - soon after the quick ingest procedure from my SxS cards is done, starting Edius, finding the XDCAM folders into the Source Browser and adding my clips to a given folder previously created in my Bin.
I would remove the tick from Create waveform when registering clips to bin because this causes lengthy waveform creation when transferring from memory card to PC via source browser
I start Edius soon after my footage has been ingested to my laptop's SSD. In any case, when I need further clips to ingest I always do this via Catalyst Browse, then I refresh the Edius Source Browser folders to access the most recent clips.
basically, EDIUS generates the waveforms by accessing the external memory cards prior to transferring the clips, and this is super slow, I reported this many times over the years
once you untick this option, file transfer starts right away and then when adding clips to timeline, the waveforms are created
The issue I'm facing is the slowness of the waveform creation when compared to the identical workflow and settings using Edius 9.
Thank you for your support Anton, I'll keep on working with v.9.52 for now, but at a later time I'll surely make further tests with a clean installation of Edius X on a different hardware, It's worth investigating.

How were the clips added to bin? Source Browser? File Explorer?

Perhaps, uninstalling v.9.52 could help but now for my job I must rely on the speed of v.9. Stable, quick and highly responsive.
What are your settings in User Settings/Application/Other?

Thanks Anton, that worked, I also questioned the same thing happening to me, what was causing it.

Don't have XDCAM footage, I just tried 30 minute mp4 FHD 50fps 100 Mbit/s footage from GH5 - it took around 10 seconds to generate wav from Samsung evo basic 500 GB SSD .... on EDIUS X 6653.

Not tested my self but I recall reading about it in the description.
Could be wrong thought.
