IPhoto incredibly slow now

Question

Ever since installing Mavericks and the new iPhoto, iPhoto has become amazingly slow. It takes much longer to load photos. I keep the trash emptied before quiting each time. And, why is it slower? Is there anything else I can do to speed it back up?

I've recently installed Snow Leopard & have yet to see any great differences or benefits.
The big problem I am having is that iPhoto is incredibly slow now in panning zoomed images.
e.g. I open an image in full screen and zoom in (which is slower than previously) and then use the multitouch function on the touchpad to pan... And I am presented with lag which appears to be buffered - i.e. I move my fingers in a certain pattern and then remove them & the software gradually follows this path with a lengthy delay.
Any ideas or help?
I know what you mean. Ever since I purchased Snow Leopard, my Mac has been acting un-Mac like. iPhoto hangs during simple operations. I've had to do a forced shut down. This is getting a little irritating, I hope they resolve these issues soon.
