Happens just about instantly on an i5 iMac with SSD and a large RAW or
jpg file, suggesting perhaps it's a disk issue?

Could be indeed. There's a few reports of improved performance after
some have defragmented the library. I did defrag my Library, which
reported lots of defragmentation, but I didn't notice any difference
afterwards.

I do run my library off a separate/dedicated partition on my internal
drive, which was slightly better than a FW400 external drive.

Yep, here is the definitive listing of _all_ 16777215 possible background
colours including their descriptions.

Hope this helps.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

To find the colour you want simply find the description that matches the
colour you want and read off the 'RGB' value next to it. You'll find the
alphabetical listing after the numerical listing.

#000026 But 'Dark' doesn't really do it justice.
#000027 'Swarthy' is right out, as well.
#000028 (nice word though!)
#000029 How about 'Funeral' Black?
#000030 ... or 'Sable'
