I deleted all the rules from the Action Chains settings.

Ran another test just now -- uninstalled Action Chains, still getting the exact same lag when CTRL+Tabbing between my views. And the same rattly sound BR mentioned they get too (below)

On a whim, I put a copy of the library onto my 256GB SSD - result, VM switching near instantaneous. I admit that I've never been an SSD fan, not because there's anything wrong with them. But I'm not a speed freak and the claims for SSDs have IMO been over-hyped --- but this is the most dramatic effect I've seen from an SSD.

So, I tried moving the metadata.db file from the library folder on the rattly drive to the SSD and dropping a symlink to it in the library folder on the rattly drive. Guess what, less laggy and no rattling. Which seems to indicate that the disk I/O I can hear on the rattly drive is related to the metadata.db file - which surprises me.

I can't figure out why this tiddly little library should be rattling the disk drives cage but there's no doubt it is.

I think you misread my post -- that's what I'm doing. Picking the View Manager view from View Manager's dropdown menu.
