I experience same behaviour with digiKam Version 1.3.0, KDE 4.4.5 on openSuse 
11.2.

I do a selection from a series, move this selection to another folder. Go to 
another folder, do a selection, move this to another folder. Go to another 
folder, select 50 images, delete them (move to trash)...

Now it takes very long to move oder delete further images, or to show the 
thumbs of another thumb, or to open an image in the editor.

Just closing/reopening digikam doesn't help al lot. I have to wait until all 
processes of digikam have finished (they don't finish immediately after 
closing the app). In my opinion there is no difference, whether I just wait a 
while until digikam "gets normal" again or if I close/reopen digikam.

I guess it is a problem of the database. I use the standard database (not 
mysql). 

However I am already used to it. Also, I have a slow computer anyway...
