I'm noticing that when I view albums in the browser, the photos are not loaded initially - they just show up as grey outlined boxes:
They eventually fill in as they are loaded one by one, but very slowly:
Does anyone know how to get these previews to load so that I don't have to wait for them to load one by one? It makes finding a photo very difficult when you are looking through a lot of photos and they aren't loaded.

Is there anything that might be slowing down Aperture? Do you have plenty of free space on your system drive? Are you using external drives? Is your software up-to-date? Are there any unexpected background processes running? Have you done any trouble-shooting? Did you make any changes to your system before the problem occured the first time?
If nothing seems likely, backup your Library and run "Repair" as detailed on this KB page.

@Kirby - Thanks for the pointer to that KB article. I think it may have started with my switch to Lion, but I'm not 100% positive. I tried the Repair Permissions and it seemed to speed up the load times of the thumbnails. I'm trying to repair the library now - we'll see how it goes.
@Kirby - Repairing the database seems to have solved the problem. Thumbnails are now loading relatively quickly - plenty quick enough to flip through photos. Sorry I already marked your answer earlier as helpful so I can't mark as correct now. Thanks again for your help though.
Glad it's working better. Don't worry about the points -- but if you can, mark the question as "Answered" so it shows that way when users search for answers (and answerers search for un-answered questions). Thanks. 🙂
