[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6943222, member: 718"] I have well over 100,000 photos, about half of which are in Photos, which i have stored on an external drive. I don’t think that is a problem or your problem. Your issue is probably the large slow hard drive. Possibly consider upgrading it to a SATA SSD. The Photos app should not slow things down unless you are accessing it or reading/writing to it. Am external SSD connected by your fastest port, Firewire 800, would be much faster, but swapping the internal drive out is what I intend to do. EDIT My mid 2011 iMac [Poverty Pack edition] has a Thunderbolt port, which is much faster than Firewire800, so check out your mid2010 to see if it has the same port. If so, an External SSD is a very viable alternative to running from the internal hard drive, even if this is a 7200rpm drive. I note that your graphics card is also superior to mine [67% higher performance apparently], so that should be more than good enough for 99% of work, although if you are gamer it will not be up to today's needs.
