P: LR4 extremely slow web module gallery building

Lightroom V4 web module is extremely slow. I am using TTG CE2 components and compared with LR 3 which was not very swift, LR4 is painfully slow at building and exporting gallery and pages components.

Hamish do you happen to be able to compare that timing with the previous version of LR? I allowed my catalog to be updated and so can't easily do a like for like test.

Just exported 89 images into a gallery with 89 thumbnails and various other folders etc as part of a Turning Gate Client Response gallery. The export time was 14 minutes, and I was also using LR4 in develop mode

OSX Lion 10.7.3, MacbookPro 8Gb 2.2 Ghz i7.

I should also add that I am running it on a 64 bit I7 machine with 6Gbyte of DDR3 RAM. I have fast WDC 10,000 rpm drives and a modern motherboard. The slow part of the process seems to be when the image files are being exported, each one seems to take an age as can be seen from the progress bar, the processor usage is not high during this exporting of files only about 20% and neither is the memory usage high. The hardware and storage configurations are exactly the same as when running LR 3.6 but the process is much slower and unreasonably so considering the hardware that I have invested in to get the performance.

The team will probably want to know what OS/Version you're running.
