I have the same problem. (Haven't read the other replies here yet, but wanted to share angst also). Similar system to you (quad core, 8G RAM, 7200 RPM SATA 3 HDD, x64 -- this is NOT a slow system, and only 800 people). It seems that after every other thing I do (remove an unlinked person, join a duplicate person, add a note) the program will simply stop responding. This happens whether I'm "online" or not. I run a clean system, run the "compact file" utility often and sync religiously.
As you said, it's practically unusable with this -- the reasons I purchased in the first place (speedy data entry and cleanup) are completely gone).
I haven't read the responses to your post yet, but I predict there will be folks overstating the obvious like: "the system is busy...", or "it's syncing in the background..." Let's see... ;-)
