Trying to sort 4,5oo+ photos in 256 meg of ram, are you crazy :-) not
any wonder that it is slow. try increasing you ram (as much as you can
afford) it makes a big difference. I have around 1200 pictures on my
iBook all are taken at highest res in a 4 megapixel camera (each pic on
disk is around 2meg), and I find it actually pretty quick. I am using a
Graphite Clamshell 366 with 576 meg or ram, but have not upgraded to
the latest version of iPhoto (my iBook does not meet the res required
:-(
