I took the leap and expense (choke) and got a new Macbook Pro 17" decked out. Got Ap3, library updated, and it ran alright overall. I was very pleased with new features of Ap3 such as brushes and the depth of subtle changes that could be applied. Found myself not opening Photoshop CS5 extended as much. I considered that a plus. Not because of anything to do with PS, but because it is one less step in the whole workflow.
I did have one issue with the spinning ball. For having the hottest MBP there is, seemed odd that the program would be sluggish. Then an update came out and that seemed to solve most of the problems.
The library still bloats big time. I do have a huge library. I suppose I could break it into smaller libraries, but have read about those who have done such and why they did it, not sure it will achieve what I'm looking for. I like the one stop shop approach myself.
I did recently figure out about referencing, that helped tremendously. Then I figured out about previews. Most of my bloat in my current hard drive as relates to Ap3 is about previews. I deleted them all, almost 200g worth of previews. Going to take a whole different approach there and try different things. The program sped up a bit, I now have a lot more disk space free, and I'm a happy man for the moment.
I've read extensively about the LR V Ap debate. I've thought about defecting to LR since Photoshop is such a fine program. Yet I'm convinced after all I've read that Apple is serious about making Ap3 a better overall experience for the person who doesn't have extensive editing needs (3D, layers, etc).
I'm not as much loyal to a company as to a product that does what I want. So far I'm happy with Ap3. Very happy with the price reduction. If only Apple would do that now with their hardware (choke). Upgrading to thunderbolt display and Promise 12Tb storage was exceptionally expensive. But it is blazing fast and solved my storage needs.

How significant was the speed difference?
You are attributing it to Lion?
Could it be a setting in Lion that is overanalyzing your photos?
I'm not running Lion, but if upgrade soon, I guess I want to know if that speed thing you talk about is insurmountable.

create a new partition on your start disk, install Snow Leo w/ all updates, migrate your Apps from your Lion partition (make sure to weed out those who won't run under Snowy, too), then install Aperture from the App Store. Worth a try - if it doesn't work out, seek for answers on the Net (evt. Apple discussion fora), worst case would be loss of valuable life time.

My images are sorted by day, and I wanted to maintain this structure in Aperture as my workflow runs around daaily sets of images.
I created a new project but then I was unable to maintain my workflow of choice. I tried a couple of options in Aperture, creating folders etc within a project, but no go.
I don't use iPhoto for the same reason - I want to maintain my workflow and Aperture/iPhoto prevent/constrain me from working with my images how I want to.
Deleted Aperture after less than an hour, won't be back. Thanks for opportunity to test drive demo - appreciated.

This update resolves an issue that could prevent auto-imported Photo Stream images from being displayed in the library after your Photo Stream hits 1,000 images.

Updating from 3.1.3 FYI

Actually, according to this kb:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518
I think you can update from any version of Aperture 3.x straight to 3.2.1.
I'm really excited now based on Surfspirit's comment below. Aperture has always been a dog slow embarrassment so let's hope this puts that to rest!

A few days ago I discovered that at least 20 photos of mine (Raw + Tiff) had disappeared from their Aperture 3 project.
Why? Nobody knows. I uploaded them again from the DVD where the originals are (I have around 15.000 photos).
I have 14 photo albums on FaceBook, all of them uploaded through Aperture 3. Yesterday I discovered that they were GONE.
BEWARE: not from FaceBook, where everybody could see them, but from my Aperture 3 Library.
Now, if I looked inside Aperture Library through MediaBrowser or Desktop&Screensaver, they where perfectly visible and usable.
Why? God (possibly) knows, but I doubt.
I have lost all of today to destroy everything in Aperture 3 and restore an old Library from TimeMachine. Now everything seems to be there, but tomorrow?
Oh, my poor money...

I can't understand why Apple didn't make this fix more visible to trial users in a read me, or at least fix the installer to deal with this issue.

I have paid the 99 bucks, received the package (not simply the code) and installed it: INSTALLED, not simply inserted the code.
Anybody kindly knows? MTIA
