Hi,

Is there a way to make smart groups a little lazy?

I find smart groups extremely useful for organizing my bibliography.   
However, it seems that they cause BibDesk to slow down quite a bit.   
Previous discussions have also suggested smart groups may affect  
performance.  http://n2.nabble.com/scaling---performance-td1090694.html#none

In my case, when changing a publication's fields or adding a linked  
file, I count an even 10 seconds of beach-ball hypnosis.  This happens  
with:

97 smart groups
950 publications
 >= 2 ghz dual-core cpu

After making a backup file and then erasing all of my smart groups,  
these operations are instantaneous!

So, my question is whether there is a way to make smart groups less  
diligent in terms of updating their contents after every edit.  I  
would be happy if I could trigger this update myself ... "Ok smart  
groups, show us your beach-ball magic".

Many thanks to the developers and group discussants!
