Dear all, I almost daily work with a large bib file that contains currently 5347 entries, admitted this is only half the size of Simon's. I see no such obvious delay during regular work. I notice for certain AppleScripts, e.g. I have one searching for duplicates after an import, that has become a bit slow with the growing size of the bib file. But that is rather due to the nature of that particular algorithm, I have chosen to use than a fault of BibDesk.
I would look out for what activity triggers slow responses, what user events etc. I cannot confirm that BibDesk has noticeably slowed down in general only because of large bib files. I was first also worried about the growing size of my default bib file and was always positively surprised how fast BibDesk generally still behaves. Andreas ETH Zurich Prof. em.

My .bib file has more than 9000 entries, maybe this is too much? I am not sure when it started, whether it happened with the update t a new version or after reaching a certain number of entries. What I can say is that I see this on machines of quite different ages. Any suggestions?
