Zotero Standalone Hangs Constantly

Hi Zotero,

I'm hoping you can help me resolve a problem that's keeping me from using Zotero in any particularly efficient way. I have a very large library -- about 4400 items -- and when using Zotero standalone for Mac (Mountain Lion), frequently get beach ball hangs that can only be fixed by forcing the application to quit, and then start over. They happen seemingly at random, but frequently within the first few minutes of having the application open, and very often when dragging or copying a file for citation.

I can't seem to get any information from the debug; I enable it but after these crashes, it seems to have disabled the debug logging. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Ben

    What do you mean by that?

    On a Mac you can also easily generate real-time debug output (and email the output to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread) if debug output logging isn't working for some reason.
