Dear Simon, Indeed this speaks rather against my feeling. Nevertheless, are those systems perhaps similarly configured? Therefore, do boot into the safe mode and see whether that the behavior that bothers you can be reproduced. Andreas ETH Zurich Prof. em. Dr. Andreas Fischlin IPCC

I am a long-time BibDesk user with a large .bib file (30k+ entries, 140+ MB), and I am familiar with a couple of factors that slow down BibDesk, although they may not be related to Simon's situation. (1) First, if I search for keywords in the quick search field, and I edit one or more of the
