It was working fine, I have installed the new beta and now its taking ages to do anything. Even exporting 20 images takes around 40mins.

Could it be the other version of LR? Im testing the new LRG so I didnt want to remove it but I will if I cant do anything.

Oh yeah and ive optimised..
 
I'm running the MacOs version of 2.6 and it runs fine. To be honest I didn't notice any improvement from version 2.5 so if 2.6 is a problem I would just revert to 2.5 till they fix it. Is everything else running at normal speed?
 
Ive had 2.6 for a while now, what I mean was I installed LR3 beta 2 and since then it seems to be running very slow.

The rest of the program is slow too though. Takes about 1min to go from library to develop
 
From my experiences with LR 2.6, I think there is an efficient maximum number of images per catalogue.

I had over 77,000 in one catalogue and it occasionally froze etc.

Once I had divided it into several catalogues, everything went swimmingly.

I suggest no more than around 30,000 images per catalogue.
 
its a small catalogue, sub 1000, lr3b2 removed, still there.

Deleting a catalogue and starting again is nuts!
