[Digikam-users] digikam 1.2.0 slows down

[Tim Jenness]

For me it happens when I'm rating. I do a sequence like "Ctrl-N, space,
Ctrl-N, space..." etc where "N" is a rating 1-5 and I'm viewing the album
one image at a time. The first few are lightning fast but a few hundred in
it's crawling and I have to restart digikam.
