I last used PhotoStructure a few months ago. I upgraded to 1.0.0-beta.3 and it wanted to rebuild my library. It said “around 12 hours remain” so I left my PC on overnight. I came back the next morning and it had barely progressed. There were ~43,000 items remaining last night, and 12 hours later there’s still 42,400 items remaining.
The system I’m running it on isn’t the fastest or newest thing in the world (Core i5 6500), but older versions were definitely faster to rebuild. I only have 16GB RAM though. I’ve noticed that PhotoStructure’s RAM usage will grow until it reaches around 4.6GB:
then it will rapidly drop down to ~1GB:
so my guess would be that some process is hitting an out-of-memory error. There’s several instances of something that looks like a Node.js OOM error in the sync logs:

When I get a chance, I might try it on my work PC instead, which is a beast of a machine (32-core Threadripper 3970X and 128 GB RAM) and see how it goes there instead.
