  which also works well.
  

• Isn't the new file limit 25.000 pictures?

  I don't know about you, but for me that's a lot more than the content of a DVD. I usually burn at around 1500 pictures (3-4 megapixels and some unflattened psd files). Unless you're saying the performance is still problematic with large libraries...

  I think we're trying to say the same thing.
  
  Yes, 25,000 pictures is a lot more than can be fit on one DVD. So even though performance is improved, we still need to manage multiple libraries so we can limit the number of pictures on each to a total size that can be archived to optical media.

  Yes, I really like iPhoto Library Manager, and I recommend it in all of my classes.
  
  I haven't tested it yet with iPhoto 4, so I don't know if there will be any compatibility issues. Also, even though I love the work Brian has done with this utility, I think it is a function that needs to be integrated into the application itself.

  I back up to hard drives, so the DVD barrier is not critical for me. (I do archive subsets to DVD.)
  
  More importantly, can iPhoto 4 import external libraries better than iPhoto 2?
  
  Even from an image CD/DVD iPhoto 2 could import the library, but if you tried to import albums you ended up with duplicate images. So consolidating libraries was very tedious and involved manual album recreation. You also lost all roll information in the move.
