Of course, my Athlon 2500 is fast. It just happens that my Core 2 Duo is faster. And it just happens that the current generation of CPUs is 3-8x faster than your P4. Picasa is CPU intensive. Just to give you an idea, I took a 100,000 picture set, and told Picasa to scan it. This was on a 2.13 Ghz Pentium M laptop. Picasa used 100% of the CPU for 18-24 hours before it finished scanning. > > So, questions for you: > > a. Is Picasa using 100% of your CPU?

Then try adding just a few folders at a time and see when the slowdown occurs. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
