Zotero very slow start-up Error D1410745991
My Zotero library is very, very slow to start and index. I have just over 6000 entries so not the biggest library. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to speed it up?

Assuming that doesn't help with the speed (which it shouldn't), how many total items do you have, including child items? How big is the zotero.sqlite file in your Zotero data directory? Is this on a Mac with a hard disk drive or an SSD? How much RAM does this computer have?
My zotero.sqlite is 325 MB. My laptop is a MAC and has the maximum amount of RAM - 8GB
You didn't say how many items you have.
I have 6676 parent items. I have a total of 16911 items.
Have you adjusted your full-text indexing settings from the defaults in the Search pane of the preferences?
You can try checking your database integrity from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences, which will also try to optimize the database, and that may speed things up a bit and shrink down your dataabase. It may take a while to run, so do this overnight or when you won't need to use Zotero for a while.
