we have similar chains. i use Satson the same way followed initially by VCC and then VTM on all tracks. busses/folders only VCC mixbuss (altho i'm currently experimenting with EQs on busses). the other difference is that any other effects, like EQ, will be placed after Satson and before VCC. i've tried other ways and this is what works well for me. so you can see freeze would complicate my workflow as i have to place effects as needed thru-out the mix process

As far as the question to the OP..
Have you tried playing with the buffer size now that you're mixing and not tracking? I'm sure you've done that but just asking.
yes, done that. (btw, i write, record and arrange in Live then mix in Reaper)

Try moving the project if you have another drive to play it from.
will try that. i use 3 separate drives for OS, samples and project files. running a mix-only project from the samples drive should not be a problem

thx!
