This sounds like this bug known upstream: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5843
We're planning to investigate for 0.13.1. ** Description changed: After upgrading from 0.12.9 to 0.13 shotwell starts rewriting metadata on every launch, going through the progress with the ever-slowing pace (i.e., each next % passes longer than the previous one). Upon reaching 99% it never completes the operation, I left it working through the night on my 5526 photos. - I'm aware of the similarly looking #984553 that was fixed in 0.13 but I + I'm aware of the similarly looking #894553 that was fixed in 0.13 but I started to see this behaviour only after upgrading so I thought it safer to file a new bug.
