Why does my computer slow down when I tag images?

My computer has plenty of memory and runs fine, except when I try to tag files. Then I get the spinning wheel. Is there such thing as too many tags? I am tagging photoshop images, usually 3 or 4 tags each.

I have OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

Current Pro Desktops

I suggest you use the program created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.  It will provide a snapshot of your system which we can analyze to possibly determine the cause of your problem. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
