I saw this horrible slowness in ACDSee 5.0, after upgrading my system to Windows XP Pro and Photoshop 7.0. ACDSee was essentially useless, it took so long to load a contact sheet from a folder. I was totally confused because, let's face it, this is the same hardware we're talking about!
The Photoshop fix discussed above fixed the problem. Thanks! What on earth was Adobe thinking? I guess they must do all their testing with 3 GHz screamin' SMP systems, or maybe Cray Supercomputers. ;-)
