iPhoto 11 is so slow when opening
Very recently my iPhoto has become so slow when opening, it can take anywhere between 3 and 7 minutes, during this time my Macbook just hangs, I can't use any other programs.
I have attempted running the iPhoto first aid, I have picked all of the options on the first aid list and nothing has helped. I have tried quitting everything before opening iPhoto and this makes no difference. I have also deleted some of the photos from my library, but I don't have an exceptionally large library anyway, 1900 jpegs.
I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 with mountain lion 10.8.2, I have no issues with any other programs being slow.
Once it opens it is generally fine, but it's just turning a 20 second task into a 10 minute task.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
