Ever since updating to iPhoto '11 it has become incredibly slow to launch. Using it is acceptable performance wise, but launching is terribly slow. I just closed it and reopened it to get an accurate time, and it too 3 and a half minutes! BTW, it only does the bouncy thing for a minute, then it just sits there. At first I ended up launching it multiple times because I thought it wasn't opening.
It is a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro with 5 GB of RAM.
Everything else launches in an acceptable amount of time. Even iMovie is much faster. I have a fairly large library (75 GB), but it isn't any larger than it was before.
I've emptied the iPhoto Trash. Anything else I can do to speed it up, specifically launching?

Try rebuilding the library.
