LR3 is intentionally disabled from reading LR2 catalogs ... the release note that came with it says that. This is to prevent people from using the PUBLIC BETA for production work and damaging their files. You are supposed to a) DUPLICATE the ORIGINAL files you are going to TEST it with, and b) create and test with a NEW catalog. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom3/releasenotes.pdf
This is a test evaluation only release at present. If it is running poorly, go to the adobe forums that were detailed on the page from which you downloaded it and in the release notes do discuss it: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/lightroom3/ Public Betas like this are not for everyone. Lots of stuff is far from final and will not work correctly yet. And they're not for production work. I've worked with it only a little bit so far, and thus far it seems to work pretty well on the machine I'm testing it on (MacBook 2Ghz, 2G RAM).
