Do you happen to have a large amount of data in your event or photo
comment fields? I have a library with 17K photos and Shotwell was taking
several minutes to start. A few months ago, I found the cause of the
problem to be my large event comments. The attached patch disables
searching by event comment but it makes Shotwell start with my library
in under 3 seconds.
I planned to submit a bug report once I had a correct patch ready to fix
the issue.
