Yes, same problem on C1 pro 9 and 2008 Mac Pro (8GB) with internal HD - and a catalogue of 15K images. Doesn't always happen but very frustrationg wthen it does. Can't pin down where the problem lies. Thought it was a few layered tiffs, but have removed those and still a problem. I'm also hoping to shift from LR, but the catalogue performance is the one thing holding me back.

Jon,
I had contacted C1 Support yesterday and received the following message posted below.
However I had already fixed the issued by going to one of my Backup Catalogs and starting over with Version 9.
As he stated in the reply, it did take a while for all the images to upgrade to Version 9.
I may have jumped to fast the first time I upgraded.
But now all seems to be working ok.

Previous Catalogs and Sessions from Capture One Pro 8 may be imported into a master Catalog in Capture One Pro 9. Upgrading variants using the new Capture One Pro 9 processing engine is optional but doing so provides improved image quality and access to the latest tools. However, once updated, the settings cannot be reversed.
Catalogs or Sessions produced by Capture One 8 and opened from within Capture One Pro 9 must be updated to benefit from the new applications new features. A warning dialog will be displayed with the option to Upgrade and Open, or Cancel. While the upgrade is irreversible, settings and adjustments are preserved. Individual variants may still be processed using the existing Capture One 8 tools and processing engine. Also, to benefit from the new tools and image quality enhancements, the variants will require upgrading for compatibility with the latest processing engine.
Catalogs cannot be exported in previous versions of Capture One.
Did you get the dialogue saying that you need to upgrade the catalog? If yes, did that ever finish? It may just take a long time to upgrade the catalog of that size.
Kind regards,
Phase One Technical Support
