Peter,

Earlier this summer I was getting VERY frustrated with slow response 
from Lightroom on my Macbook Pro.  I have the 17 inch i7 with 4 gigs of 
RAM...I expected it to be VERY fast as this is the fastest Macbook Apple 
currently makes.

Anyway I discovered if I was patient and allowed Lightroom to download 
and render all of its previews it was fast, but if I did not wait for 
all the downloads and rendering to get done then sometimes it was just S 
L O W.

My catalogs are all far more than the 9,000 images you are talking about.

I was working completely from an external 500 gig hard drive connected 
with a firewire 800 connection.

Good Luck.

Harrison.
