PLEASE HELP! Aperture becomes MISERABLY slow after performing perfectly.

Posting on this forum is my absolute last resort, but I am absolutely desperate.
I am a professional photographer who works on Aperture for hours daily. I made the switch to Aperture from a Bridge-based workflow a few months ago. Ever since I started importing all of my past work into Aperture, I have been dealing with radically inconsistent performance which is, literally, causing me days of delays, and thousands of dollars in missed work.
*Here is how I am set up.* All of my images are being referenced on a WD My Book via FireWire 800 connection directly to my computer - no daisy chaining. It is a 1TB drive, and it is referencing about 75,000 photos - mostly RAW. I did this to maintain a traditional file hierarchy incase I didn't have access to Aperture. My Aperture library folder is stored on my iMac's main HD. When I started using Aperture, I had an 20" iMac 2.4Ghz with 2GB RAM, and a Radeon 256MB video card - which definitely exceeds the minimum system requirements.
*When I first open up Aperture,* it runs beautifully. Quickly cycling though images, making snappy adjustments, exporting to Photoshop, and saving quickly. Absolutely everything I love it for. I would say after about 15-30 minutes of usage, the program slows to a near halt. Photoshop will slow down significantly, saving in Photoshop takes 30-45 seconds, and when I return to Aperture, images will load previews indefinitely, rendering adjustments useless without finagling. If I get adjustments to load, the adjustments are choppy and inconsistent. Exporting takes forever. Switching from project folders, creating galleries, changing viewing parameters - all unacceptably slow. It absolutely sabotages the performance of my computer. I end up having to completely restart the program to reacquire those glorious 15-30 minutes. This is all so strange considering initially, the program runs as it should! Perfectly! It is not that my computer isn't up to Aperture's specifications, or it would be slow(er) from launch.
*This is what I have done so far.* I initially checked the consistency of the Aperture library, as well as rebuilt the library (several times). This caused no improvement. I then contacted Apple via phone support which proved useless. I am convinced the support techs are doing nothing more than reading troubleshooting dialogue from the website, because we got nowhere. I then brought my iMac and external HD into the Apple Store to show them specifically what I was experiencing. After talking to a rather snippy store employee who gave me circular answers and then suggested that I "just return it," I requested the manager. He was pleasant, and kind enough to suggest a RAM upgrade, and provide it for free. I then had 4GB RAM, and considering I didn't have an opportunity to play with it more than 20 minutes in the store, I left hoping that would be the solution.
After getting back to my office and spending a considerable amount of time in the program, I saw that little progress was made. Yes, performance was certainly faster, especially for those 15-30 minutes, but the same problem resurfaced.
I suspected that it may be my WD external HD, considering I had loaded it's software after purchasing it. I suspected that considering it does have a sleep mode, an auto-off mode and a "capacity gauge," it may have gone into sleep mode as I was working on a file, and had to "wake up" when trying to save it, causing the workflow to go haywire. I proceeded to uninstall all of my WD software. I checked the drive's consistency, and I checked for errors via several high-end drive repair and recovery programs, and it was operating perfectly.
Even after this, I am still experiencing the SAME problem, and I am at a stand-still with NO idea what to do.
PLEASE! I am begging for any assistance. I can't work like this, and I can't bear switching to another (inferior) workflow.
Thank you!!

Hi
I couldn't help feeling sympathetic to your situation. I dont wish to state the obvious, but have you done all the basic checks...Is this thread any help..
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8093761#8093761
Updating to the latest version 10.5.4 could be a help. There is a new update available now 10.5.5 but I choose to let it settle down personally before I add it. Look at the forums and follow its progress before installing.
Hope you get things resolved...

What is your Mac?
What did you update from? 10.6 or 10.7?
If from 10.6 or your machine was at 10.5 at one time, it might be too old/slow for 10.8, you might want to revert to 10.6 again.

What do you notice is slower than before? Like Internet or booting or loading programs or UI feel or what exactly?
If it's the Internet, then check this out

Now a fresh install of OS X usually does wonders, this would mean you will need to take acurate account of your installed programs, passwords, export bookmarks and backup all your data to a external storage drive. Keep the boot drive data below 50% filled ideally, (not much for you apprantly, just reduce 50GB of data)
Most commonly used backup methods
Write down your AppleID and password to reinstall 10.8
When your sure, then hold command r boot into Recovery, use Disk Utility to Erase (middle selection) the Macintosh HD partition and wait, it's going to map off fialing sectors. When done quit and reinstall 10.8 fresh and install programs and files from backup into the same named accounts.

That should make things zippy again. Also a #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is this, it's a defragging/performance speed up step, you won't have to reset everything up again from scracth like a fresh install method does. But it requires paid software and a external drive, but makes a excellent bootable backup in the process that can save your behind one day.

Need Help Ye,
boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow?

My 2011 Macbook has become exceedingly slow after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I have a 2011 Macbook which has become really slow after I upgraded to Mountain Lion in March. At first it wasn't that bad, but it's getting worse and my computer has begun to overheat even if I'm only using Google Chrome. I used to be able to keep multiple applications open at once and never closed many of them, but now if I want to get anything done I have to use the absolute minimum. My CPU has reached 86 degrees Celsius and temperatures slightly below this seem to be the average, even if I've only been on for ten minutes. It heats up VERY quickly. The fan has been operating at 2919 rpm, but it has said that for days and I don't know if this number should be changing? (I know that normal is about 2000 rpm, so I know it shouldn't be that high anyway.)
I'm currently working on cleaning out my harddrive of duplicate and unnecessary files and I plan on restoring to the default settings and backing everything up on an external harddrive... but are there other things I should be doing to speed my computer back up, like good programs to clean out my computer's temporary memory on a regular basis? The problem seems to have come on pretty fast though, so I don't know if there could be something else wrong with it and if I should take it into an Apple-approved repair place.
Also, I'm not one to illegally download/pirate things from sketchy websites, so I highly doubt a virus is the cause, especially given that Macs rarely get viruses.
Any suggestions of what to do and what programs/apps to install would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi All,
Please help me how to improve the performance of this query further.
Thanks.

Hi,
this is not your first SQL tuning request in this community -- you really should learn how to obtain performance diagnostics.
The information you posted is not nearly enough to even start troubleshooting the query -- you haven't specified elapsed time, I/O, or the actual number of rows the query returns.
The only piece of information we have is saying that your query executes within a second. If we believe this, then your query doesn't need tuning. If we don't, then we throw it away
and we're left with nothing.
Start by reading this blog post: Kyle Hailey &raquo; Power of DISPLAY_CURSOR

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

What about this?
Good brand and a little cheaper:

Would it be worth the $80 or should I just put it toward a used MBP?
Thanks!

Please help: Application doesn't work after upgrade to Workshop 8 sp2 from sp1

Hi,
Our application worked on workshop 8 sp1. After we upgrade system from sp1 to
sp2, some of the part doesn't work propertly any more.
1. netui:select seems not bind form data propertly. For drop down list box in
forms, although user has chosen something from the drop down list box, the returned
value in the form is always null.
2. we use Java script window.open(url,...) to download and view files. After upgrade
from sp1 to sp2, clients keep getting IE error complaining that "Internet Explore
can not open this Internet site. The request site is either unavailable or can
not be found. Please try again later", although the server and the files are all
in local host server.
Please help. Thanks

Did you update your workshop application files and recompile your application?
A few things changed between GA and sp2, some annotations were renamed, and some
were added.
If you open up your application in Workshop sp2, it should given you the option
to upgrade your application.
Failing that, you may need to go through the code that is not performing as it
was before and check whether it was not utilising a bug that was fixed in sp2
and thus causes it to not function correctly now.

Please Help!! iMac slowing down so much it's getting crazy.

Okay so the problems started, maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago when I got an external hard drive for backup. After a while, I realized I didn't need it and unplugged it and turned off Time Machine. Ever since then, my 24" 3.06 GHz iMac has been really really slow. I do lots of video editing (FCE, After Effects), and I can understand if it's slow when I'm using it since I have only 2 GB RAM. But I am having these problems even when just Safari's open. I don't think it's the editing software, because I have had those on here weeks before I started using this HD. Is it the hard drive? I also do have, I think it's called iStats? But sometimes even with Safari open, it uses up almost all of my RAM. I also have nothing in my trash, and in my 500 GB internal hard drive, I take up 129 GB. I'm really ****** though because I can't seem to fix it. I also use GarageBand, and I decided to post this when after trying to record a song maybe 6 or 7 times, it once again stopped and came up with the "too many tracks played" window, when only two tracks were in the project. Can someone please help me?

Hi Matt
1. It could just be that you are just trying to run to many of those large App's at the same time on 2 GB of ram and your thrashing your HD.
Check the Activity Monitor > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342
Then either upgrade your ram or try closing FCE and After Effects while running Garageband and or vise-versa to see if that helps.
+(I can easily use 2GB of ram just running Leopard, Safari, iTunes, a fistful of widgets and doing some light iPhoto work.)+
2. When was the last time you ran Repair Permissions, checked to see that the Maintenance Scripts had run or just did some general cleaning?
