Every time I add a few tags (few meaning 5-20 books), I have to restart Logos afterwards, because not only has it eaten up all my free RAM, it has also created a swap file approaching 2GB. If I have a few more new books, I also have to restart during the tagging. And usually I end up having to restart the whole computer as well. And this is with Logos newly opened, and Safari and Thunderbird either closed or just restarted.
In other words, a few minutes of tagging requires a minimum of 2 Logos [re]starts, and one each of Safari and Thunderbird. And to add insult to injury, the Logos restarts do, of course, take several minutes each, resulting in a five minute operation taking 30 minutes or more.
This is absurd! How can a small number of tags use up such an incredible amount of RAM?
(I don't know if this is an issue that was introduced some time last year, or if it's been there all the time, but doesn't become noticeable until you have enough resources, but I do know that I didn't have any problem in 2010, and that currently it seems to get worse and worse.)
