"Not responding"
I love Zotero and rely on it. To try for best performance, I use Standalone. Nonetheless, I spend a lot of time looking at "Not responding". This happens regularly at startup, and irregularly during use - it is hard to identify a pattern. One example is when I enter something in the search box. Typically I start with "'" to suppress interim updates. Then I may see "Not responding" for 30 s before I see any more characters in the search box (though whatever I type is eventually processed into the search box). My usage is pretty simple - I avoid including .pdfs and other attachments. Mainly I populate my local library from PubMed. I suppress importing everything possible as controlled by the selections in Preferences/General. I have a bit under 12,000 items.
I run on Windows 7, 64-bit (not under my control). I have Zotero 4.0.22 installed.
I have no add-ons other than the defaults - Word and Libre Office integration, which I never use.

This reduced my .sqlite file size by ~10%. But, it improved performance > 100%. So far (in brief testing) no sign of "Not responding".
We're always looking into ways to speed things up and the next major Zotero release (couple months away probably) should show substantial improvements. Until then, it's unlikely that anything will improve. (unless your report shows some sort of bug. Dan will take a look)
