Fortune? Sorry, but I have the latest hardware with 32gb of memory and LR4 is f* slow when using edits, tagging, lens correction, gps,... I have split my catalog to smaller catalogs to not be over 10k images, after this value the speed for normal work is unacceptable. So in theory there is no reason that the DB will be slow, but Adobe is just having some BIG issue which should be solved.
I have done the import of my photos to LR3.6 and it was done during 2nights, but with LR4 I would expect 2weeks...
That's not my experience. I have 12G memory and a i7-930 (two years old). LR4 is slower than LR3.6, but few delays of more than a second or two. I have 60,000 images in the catalogue. I'm not aware of any delays I experience related to size of catalogue - most seem to do with Develop Module for a single image.
Initial import might take a while. I've not had to do that since I first started using LR2 on an older machine, and I seem to recall that importing 20-30k files took an hour or two, but I might be wrong. But for me, importing from a memory card is generally limited by card speed.
