It sounds like you don't have enough RAM, since F-Spot uses quite a bit

You can buy 512 MB new for around $50 for most types of RAM, and for
older types, I'm sure there are a variety of people who would be happy
to give you some.

Actually, I just upgraded from 512MB to GB. The machine feels slower.
There is another thread on that. Maybe I posted it to Kubunu list, if
so, I'll post here as well.

Also, I'd be interested in knowing your experiences with F-Spot. Are you
using it for a large number of images?

Yes, about 6000 images currently, and growing. Thats about 10 GB.

I've been considering using it
to organise my ~50GB of photographs that are in a mix of Nikon RAW and
JPEG, interspersed with processed versions of the RAW files in 16-bit
TIFFs. In my tests of it, it seems to work quite well with JPEGs, but it
doesn't seem to allow one to edit the files with whatever editors one
wants (I need to use ufraw, and cinepaint for the 16 bit tiffs).

You would, of course, need to open the file in the editor of your
choice. But adding an "Edit With..." dialog would not be difficult.
Should I enquire about it on the F-spot list for you?

Also, verify first that F-Spot will work with your different RAW formats.
