Video editing sucks

My previous laptop (an aging DELL that was high spec when first purchased) seemed to take forever when editing videos.  Unfortunately the surface makes it look speedy by comparison.  Video editing is a good way to max out the RAM and the hard disk access at the same time (CPU doesn't seem to max out as much though).

I know exporting and saving video is notoriously expensive computationally but waiting tens of minutes is frustrating.

This is the first instance where I've been really frustrated with the surface performance.  Usually it trucks along fairly well with its 4 Gb of RAM but video editors should opt for using something with more grunt.
