More issues with poor Aperture performance
Sorry to start another thread on poor Aperture performance, but none of the other threads I've found have been of any help (alas). I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 and am experiencing stupefyingly poor performance. It's not an issue of slow operation, but of regular beach balls. When I start it up, it beach balls. Then it stops and I foolishly try and do something, like move the mouse, and it beach balls again. This goes on for about a minute.
If I start editing, say, and then do something else, like switch to my library, it beach balls twice. Always a double beach ball. The editing process isn't slow as such, like it would be if my Mac wasn't powerful enough, it's just that I get regular issues of Ap freezing on me. After a while the app does start to run slowly, which makes me think that there's a problem somewhere.
I'm running a 15" Retina MBP with a 2.6 GHz i7, 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD, which is currently just over half full. My Ap library (managed) is about 37 GB, but it used to be bigger until I archived most of it.
Any ideas? Thanks!
