So what have they done to make it faster? On my machine it's
unbelievably slow, especially since one needs to take advantage of
the database features and that means loading 4500 10-25M files every
time one starts Lightroom up. I suppose if one could never ever shut
the computer down that might not be such a burden, but imagine if you
have a complete portfolio of 45,000 images.
I'd probably quite like Lightroom if I could keep my entire
portfolio in it for searching by keyword.
Even then. however, scrolling through all those thumbnails while
updating keywords in old files is just too inefficient.

Emily - I don't have all of my photos in one catalog. I sort my
photos based on country so there is a separate catalog for each
country and then folders within each catalog based on
subject. Lightroom only loads the catalog I'm working on at the time
and only the previews for the folder I open. It's very fast for me.
