I have toubles with performance too, <br>
If I select a tag in left pane all images are shown immediatly, but if I
use rightpane filters, the pc becomes almost unresponsive after the
first search, why?<br><br>and I see no much use for a bug report saying ¨help my computer is so slow¨ so I hope one day figure out why.<br>In the past I put some messages in the list about it without success, maybe we have a good starting point now. <br>
<br>We need people with technical insight in this discussion.<br><br>thanks julien for the<br>free -m command<br><br>obvious installing 4GB doesn´t help much.<br>How about this, can anyone comment on it:<br>jansen@jansen-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC:~$ free -m<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I am on Linux Ubuntu and only with 1GB (netbook) and painfully slow. I<br>
think 2 or 4GB are definately the way to go if possible. Don't know if<br>
there is other way to "optimize" things. I hope there is.<br>
