Recently Picasa v3.6.2 for Mac has become very sluggish - mainly noticable for any (non destructive) changes made to photos such as starring an image. This action used to be nearly immediate, but recently I've found it can take 1-3 seconds for Picasa to register the change, and become responsive again.

I'm considering rebuilding my Picasa database as per these instructions - however I'm concerned I may lose any pre-existing non-destructive (unsaved) edits, along with Picasa albums that I have created.

Curious if anyone has experienced Picasa sluggishness with the latest version and/or what their results have been from rebuilding their database.

My last resort is to SuperDuper my drive and then rebuild the database, so I can always restore it if I lose critical data.
