aperture running slow
Is there any way of running my Aperture 3.4.5 faster. It really slows down my Mac, even with everything else closed, Time Machine not running, 4.72 GB RAM used. 3.3 GB free, 465 GB free space on HD, on a Mac w 10.8.3 and 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. I have 1,300 photos in Aperture. When it is open, everything is a spinning beach ball all the time. When I finished editing a photo and go back to the Library, the side vertical scroll bar begins is stuttering stroll back to the top of the Library. When I wait and drag it back down to the bottom where my more recent pictures reside, it takes forever to wait while the scroll bars stops and starts on its meandering course gradually dropping to the bottom. This is typical of Aperture with any chore and it is frustratingly slow.
