Nothing else is active when i have work on my 1000 RAW pictures. Only
digiKam  with LightTable and Editor running on my computer.

This can be relevant of number of albums drived by KDirWatch / FAM to check
dirty places on HDD.

Perhaps there is a limit somewhere (not in digiKam of course)...

Currently, my computer host 4352 pictures (20Gb of RAW + PNG + JPG) into 232
albums.

Marcus, Caspar, How many albums and how many items do you drive with digiKam
?
