If there was a way to make 'site' in 'site settings' actually apply to a site, and if MC would always (100%) adhere to the media creation settings... what a wonderful world this would be. [:'(]

Just like to bump this thread as I have been seeing reduced performance on multiple sites. Bob, maybe you could also check something. I just did a small test: copy the extracted media composer 2018.12.15 folder from a client to Nexis pro and Isis 5000.
