Aperture 3 Responsiveness: is my machine simply over-taxed?
I am running Aperture 3 (in 32-bit mode, as I wanted to use some existing plugins) and I am finding it increasingly sluggish in doing most anything. (I switched from iPhoto to Aperture about 3 months ago, so I'm still in the learning curve).
For instance, when viewing pictures (fullscreen) within a project, the "loading..." notice persists for several seconds and there's about a 5 second delay between pushing the right arrow and the next photo loading (and the spinning beach ball appears with some regularity as well).
My system:
MacBookPro5,1 (OS 10.6.4)
Intel Core 2 Duo

Just curious if it's time to upgrade (maybe to something new and exciting announced later today), or if this just just "operating as designed".
Thanks for your thoughts....
