Default Lightroom Windows (Beta 3)

So, I realize it's a beta product --- so I'll reserve final judgement for the real thing.. but some initial thoughts.

1) As I've already complained about, no network support sucks.

2) Performance? What performance? It's slow as HELL working on RAW files. This is on a 1.5 GHz Pentium M, w/ 1.5 GB of RAM, and a 7,200 RPM drive. I'm sure it'll be a bit better on my desktop, but this isn't a slouch of a notebook - it should be MUCH faster.

3) Otherwise, it looks like a decent tool. There are some things I'd like to see, but they may be there, or they may be slated to be there - so I'll give it some time.

Default did you try to turn background preview generation off in preferences?

This is supposed to increase the speed dramatically
