 made every effort to avoid ever having to use the deck editor -

 completely recreating a new deck with 4000+ cards . . .

That's an inherent limitation of the design of 1.x. In 2.0, the card browser 
should be much faster, as it does not need to have the entire database in 
memory.

If you want to try it out and you don't need to rely on prebuilt installers, 
follow the instructions here to play around with 2.0: 

http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/hacking.php

It will automatically import your 1.x deck. Don't use the 2.0 code for real, 
though, there could still be some changes to the db format before the first 
alpha.

I'd be interested in your feedback!

Cheers,

Peter

 Is there anything I can do to speed up the program? It took me ages to
 add a collection of cards, and now it's taking even longer to delete
 them. I've been waiting over 3 hours and have no idea how much longer
 it will take. At the very least, a progress indicator might be useful.

Importing a huge xml file is indeed something that can take a long time, 
because in 1.x, the xml parser we use is not the fastest on the block.

I plan to rework the xml import for the 2.x series, but it will probably not 
be for 2.0.
