Q: Bad performance of iPhoto when storing pictures on NAS
I am storing all my pictures on my home NAS server (Western Digital My Book Live Duo). But the performance of iPhoto is very bad (very long loading time). The iPhoto Library is also stored on the home server. How can I improve the performance?
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

By moving the iPhoto library to a directly connected drive.
Network access will make iPhoto slow, and an iPhoto library needs to be on a locally mounted volume.
See: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library (the same holds for iPhoto, since aperture and iPhoto are using the same library format).
