[Cin] Playback Slows Down Immensly Durring Transitions

[Benrob0329]

 From a few quick tests on my laptop, there were a few things I noticed:

1. Cinelerra-GG handles supprisingly well on moderate hardware
2. Cin transitions between different files with ease, but has more 
trouble transitioning between two edits from the same file (not just 
with my heavy recordings either, even a small YouTube video seems to 
have this issue).
3.The Arch package needs to be rebuilt, I just updated my laptop and 
libvpx is now at version 6, while Cin-GG is looking for version 5 (had 
to symlink to get it to launch, seems to work fine)

So while Cin plays the files with relative ease, and can even playback 
at double-speed or backwards without much issue, actually cutting to a 
different part of the video seems to slow it down. Perhaps it has 
trouble seeking within the same file for two different positions at 
once?
