Upgrade StorageZotero hangs when manipulating search results
I'm using Zotero 3.0.11.1 Standalone on a Win 7 system. My database has over 10,000 entries.
When I do a search, and then change anything in one of the search results (for instance, correct a name, add a date), Zotero just hangs at the moment I press Enter. It also appears to use a disproportionate amount of CPU power (up to 47% on my 1.3Ghz dual processor system).
Is there anything I can do about this?

I believe the lag when manipulating in search results for larger libraries may be a known issue, but Dan would know for sure.

See the possible temporary workaround in that thread.
The exact behaviour does not seem predictable. Sometimes everything is fine; sometimes Zotero just hangs for some while; sometimes it freezes completely, I get a 'XULRunner is not responding message' and I have to force close it.
Logging a permanent freeze does not really work, because the preferences pane freezes too.
Here is are two logs of temporary freezes:
D715816660
D399410589
After a force close, the changes I made to the entry before hitting Enter are gone, and in Preferences, the Debug log counter is on 0 lines.
This problem happens with quick search on 'All Fields & Tags', when I'm searching on tags.
For now, I'll just copy the search in a subcollection and do all the editing there.
If more info needed, please let me know.
