Original description:
Some especially enthusiastic Shotwell users would like to have as many as 100,000 photos in their library. One user has pointed out that some operations in Shotwell are unusably slow with a library of this size:

A user on LaunchPad has posted the following experience with a moderately large library and a large import from F-Spot:
While attempting to import an F-Spot collection (around 158,000 photos) into an existing Shotwell collection (around 48,500 photos), Shotwell terminated with the error message shown above after processing 16,968 F-Spot photos. These photos have remained within Shotwell and are visible in the Last Import list.
The import process ran for around 9 hours before failing, with "import preparation" occupying the first several of these hours; this suggests a polynomial (O(n^c)) or greater import processing time which might be another bug in itself.
(The crash the user encountered will be handled separately.)
Without knowing more about said user's computer setup, it's hard to determine how much time this should take, but nine hours to get a tenth of the way through the import does seem a bit harsh.
