If you have 7 GB free while running, that's certainly not an issue.

Possible, but not probable.  That can be resource-intensive, but it only
occurs for /selected/ items whose icons are currently visible.  We spent a
lot of time making sure that wouldn't affect usability.

The previous poster indicated that dragging something (possibly a file) to the 
main publication list was slow.  It sounds like you may experience something 
different, but in both cases, what is needed is the following:

1) exact steps to reproduce (if dragging something, what do you drag and where 
do you drop it?)

2) a sample taken during the slow operation, either using Activity Monitor or 
Terminal

To take a sample in Terminal, you use something like `sample BibDesk 20` to get 
a 20 second sample, then immediately reproduce the slow problem.  If you need a 
few second delay, use `sleep 3; sample BibDesk 20` or similar.
