I have split my catelog: it has made some difference, but not a lot. Mine
is 20k of images in each now so its big enough even split. When my mac
needs an update, I intend to use the fastest internal hard disks to speed
up access to the images. At the moment all my images are managed via
firewire 800.

Cheers
