3. How to decrease/increase mouse wheel speed value?
4. Is there an option to delete/add a light in Light Tool?
5. Is there a way to not deselect an edge when it is harden or soften?
6. What is the use of multiple Mesh Pivots in one object? By far can`t find in what cases they might be useful

8. Object Rotation is too slow for me. Is there an option to increase its speed?

1. Use chamfer tool on selected edges, set equal amount, set distance, set refine & hard edges
2. Local Scale Selection#
3. Use Alt+RMB for smoother zooming
4. If you turn off headlight you access the 3 lights which is the limit and then adjust their locations.
7. Use selection snapping

. or you could set the workplane to where you want them to align, adjust the pivot of each object and snap to the workplane or grid.
8. Its really quick for me. If I hold Ctl I can slow object rotation down.
