I'm glad that I came across this post. My catalog was running extremely slow and I just assumed it was because the program wasn't intended to hold the amount of albums that I have entered (6130 so far).

Although I'm not very computer saavy, I performed the compacting procedure for the covers and it now runs better. The database size went from about 124 megabytes to about 61 megabytes. Thanks Andrei.

Even though it sounds familar, I don't recall how to check the CPU spike thing.
