I'm looking for a "best guess" or at least a good "start looking here" suggestion on behalf of my brother.
He has a database with approx 70,000 images in it. When he fires up LR 3.5 on his Macbook (with 4 gigs of RAM, 3 usable I think) it takes upwards of 20 minutes to load the DB. In size, it's about a 700-meg file. My database is about 68,000 images and loads in about a minute. Kinda funny that we're twins and have equal-sized databases, isn't it? I've taken a copy of his DB and dumped it onto my Mac with the same 20+ minute load results (so - even without the previews involved, something is dogging it down). No amount of rebuild/optimization has helped. I've even run a couple of scripts which utilize SQLITE3 to dump his DB out to an SQL file, and then rebuilt a new DB from that - no help, the problem persists. Is there a way for him (or me) to figure out where the problem lies? Some sort of SQLite3 debug-level logging where he could find out which part of the database-load process is slowing things down so much? It's driving him batty, and by proxy it drives ME batty as he asks for help. :-) -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
