It only happened with the old photos from the database, that were already imported as miss-paired ones. Indeed it looks like Shotwell handles new imports much better now.

If > you have any other feedback, please let us know. I had the problem from Bug#4297, but it is fixed with 0.13 for me. Shotwell does not popup "Writing metadata" progres bar while this is happending. Starting up the program I get "Refreshing database" and "Importing photos" progres bars for just a short time (1 sec). After this Shotwell is using my external HDD very intensively for about 5 minutes (tried both NTFS and ext4 file systems). All operations are very slow during this period and I am not able to delete photo, export image, etc. When the HDD finally stops spinning everything is OK.
