Current known Lightroom 4 issues

It doesn't mention the speed issue spme users are experiencing even with high spec computers (widly mentioned on the adobe forum) and to be honest the point curve and edit in should have been picked up in the beta stage.
 
Speed issue surprises me a bit. The beta was a bit slow but thats what you'd expect from unoptimised debug code. The final release to me is as far as LR3 once it had rebuild some 10,000 previews and ive got far from a high spec system.

Mine seems ok too, but I'm hearing people with 16gb ram and quad cores having trouble.
 
My LR4 performance was initially poor, but improved dramatically.
It was reindexing the entire library, which sure knocked the edge of the response times.
Performance now seems very comparable with LR3; I'm on 8Gb Quad Core 64bit Windows 7.

Just realised how illiterate my above post was! "far" should read "fast" and "rebuild" should be "rebuilt" !

FWIW my desktop is 2.6ghz quad core 4gb RAM and its fine. Laptop is an intel i5 with 8gb and again, no issues. As above though it took a while initially to rebuild and re-index.
On the beta if you had a few hundred photos geotagged performance really took a hit but ive got thousands on the final and no slow down.

Luckily i don't understand curves enough to make custom ones so that bug hasnt affected me.
