Important note before you begin
Before deleting the preferences file be sure to first review your Final Cut Pro X preferences as they are currently configured and note any specific settings you've chosen. When deleting the Final Cut Pro X preferences file (part of the steps in this article), your editing, playback, and import preferences will be returned to default settings the next time you open Final Cut Pro X. For example, in your Import preferences you may have deselected the 'Copy files to Final Cut Events folder' checkbox for a specific reason. If you remove the preferences file and relaunch Final Cut Pro X, this check box will be enabled by default and may not be the setting you prefer for your workflow.

I, too, am experiencing some very slow rendering time and frequent crashes in my post-10.1 work! I made the mistake of updating FCPX with several projects in process and I am working on projects that are in 'updated projects' folders using event media that is in other libraries. (Pre 10.1 I was putting event media on external drives and keeping my project files on local HD, and this was working pretty well... but 10.1 hit me like a surprise attack.)
I have iStat, which gives me some indicators of performance on my machines, so I can tell you that currently, my renders are NOT running right - less than 25% of my CPU resources are being used, and almost exactly half of that is indicated as 'system' use, rather than 'user' - which makes me think that FCPX is struggling with itself to get the render done and get the resulting media processed for use in the project.

So, you might try making sure you are using the 10.1 media management rubrik, and move your 'orphaned' project(s) into the library that hold's the corresponding event media. This is my next move, once I finish the render my machine has been working on for the last 5 hours!
Good Luck!
