Lightroom 3 is freezing on me.

I did notice LR slowed down quite a bit when I went from my Rebel XS to the 7D.

Using the adjustment brush with the new comp is like painting in microsoft paint, lol. it's nothing!
before it sucked bad and barely even worked.

also, how much ram is allocated to lr? maybe too much and what is really slowing down is windows? i would try less and more there as well.

everything seems to be working good when LR starts craping out. what do you mean how much ram? i have 8gb and LR uses 2gb most of the time even at the times when it starts to freez on me.

I don't get this. I'm running a custom built PC with 2gb of RAM and a Core 2 Duo OC'd to 3.2. My images and catalog are all on drives running via USB, and I never get any slowdowns or hang-ups.

That's surprising, i'm just going to try adding some RAM.

It could be due to the fact that my RAW files are only 8.2MP from my 350D. I have some full-sized 5DII files I'm going to take a look at in a few weeks that should be an interesting comparison .

My Rebel files were about 9 MB
My 7D files are about 27 MB

lol.
