A possible issue with iPhoto and background CPU usage
I also think that it's caching all the photos in the Library. A bigger issue for me, with my 5.6 GB hard disk and 320 MB RAM, is that it needs a ton of memory to cache all those photos--iPhoto normally forces the OS to create 3 or 4 virtual memory swap files almost immediately when it starts up, chewing up a substantial portion of the ~1GB disk space I have available. iPhoto 2 didn't cache photos immediately, which made it a bit slower when scrolling (although not much slower in practice on my machine, since it's effectively just caching them in virtual memory rather than reading the files directly)--I wish you could turn caching off in iPhoto 3.

To speed things up IMMEASURABLY, "View as Albums" and then option-click on just one of the fold down menus to collapse an album. All of the albums will immediately collapse, and you can then scroll through your albums via their textual names. When you find the one you want to look at, just click the arrow again to uncollapse it. |
