FCPX 10.1.1 runs relatively smooth and fast, on Mac Pro 3,1.
OSX Mavericks, 16GB RAM, Sapphire Radeon 7950 Mac edition, BMD Mini Monitor PCIe.
It crashes occasionally, once every other day or so... But I have not lost a single move so far. i.e. after reloading, I'm right where I was before the crash. Except for the Timeline randomly loading / closing projects.
It lags at times when I have the Inspector and the effects Browser open at once. It is smooth when they are closed.

Final Cut Pro 7 Log & Transfer - Warning: do not play media while transcoding!
In Final Cut Pro 7, viewing / playing back a clip while it's Log & Transfer transcoding is happening might lead to a incomplete transcode of the media - a truncated / shortened clip.
This happened to me several times with some Canon MXF and P2 footage. And with short duration media for what I can tell. Long media files seem to be immune.
So no playing around while transcoding, and for added safety, after the transcoding is complete, I check the duration of each clip against the original media duration before I move on. If they appear different, I trash the transcoded file/clip and re-transcode.
Why is that Apple?

Radeon 7950 Mac edition on MacPro 3,1 early 2008 OS X Mavericks
Reporting Radeon 7950 Mac edition in MacPro 3,1 working fine.

Plain Mavericks, no drivers installed (Sapphire or others.)
No glitch,no flicker, no lag, no hang to report after over 40hrs. 400hrs. of use.
--- Update (May)
I do get the occasional "flicker" reported by other users, on single monitor config, odd.
It's more like a "zap" though. It really happens rarely, but I noticed it up to three times on a single day while working in FCPX.
It's very short, less than a second and I didn't notice it before with two monitors attached.
