iPhoto runs painfully slow

I am running Mac OS X 10.75 on my MacBook Pro, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4gb ram (late 2011)

and when I open iPhoto it runs so slow plus it slows the rest of my system. After 10 minutes or so it gets better yet it does tend to crash while moving photos, running the facial recognition component.


Any idea how to fix this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:


Fix #1


Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.


User uploaded file


Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
