Lightroom Classic 13.3 appears to hang with catalogue disk activity

I updated to Lightroom Classic 13.3 when it became available and notice an annoying problem.  First, I have a fairly large catelogue (3.635 GB) with well over 250,000 images.  When working on 13.3 everyonce in a while I'll notice it seems to be hung.  I check the task manager and the drive containing the catalogue is at 100% and stays there for about a minute then goes back to normal and is usable again.  This happened about every ten minutes when I was working on photos last night and was very annoying.  It also happened while importing once.


My system is a Dell XPS-8500 with an older i7 quad core hyperthreaded processor (8 processors), 32 GB of memory running Windows 10 (up to date on patches).  The photos are on external USB 3 drives and the catalog is on a 256 GB SSD drive on the motherboard (not the system drive).

The problem, it turns out, was the SSD the catalog was on, died.  The catalog was the only thing on the drive (a 256 GB SSD drive on the motherboard).  I backed up regularly and restored from the most recent backup to another drive and I'm back in business again.  I believe the intermitant hanging was a symptom of the drive going south.  Yesterday, the system hung and now it doesn't see the drive any more.  It's an old drive on a old high powered system and I need to migrate to a new Desktop that I bought.

Backups are critical!
