Lightroom 2.2 and 2.3 slow

[JeffONeil]

I'm finding that LR in 2.2 and the bets 2.3 are much slower than I'm used to. I'm running them in 64 bit on a Mac Pro, 3 gig of ram.

Any idea's on tweaks or optimizing?

In it's first version, the 1 series LR was fast!

Now it's getting harder to use it.

Any ideas? Perhaps there is a system cleaner I should be looking at to optimize the system in general and find orphaned files etc.. I am noticing a slowdown with apps like safari as well.

Appreciate the help and opinions.

I have 2.2, (windows Vista 64 bit) and 2.2 in the 64 bit version runs fine on this machine. On my older 32 bit machine, 2.x of lightroom runs like a pig and most times I just still use 1.4 which like you pointed out runs great.
