How to speed up iPhoto ‘09
It can be only a matter of time before Apple patch iPhoto ‘09 to improve performance, but thanks to MacOSXHints.com we don’t have to wait for this particular fix.
Open your iPhoto library in terminal and paste this:
for dbase in *.db; do sqlite3 $dbase "vacuum;"; done
That annoying spinning beach ball hanging bug, when you launch the application with more than a couple of thousand images in your collection, will be gone!
