Lightroom 2.0. I love it!
The list of cool things goes on, and while it is slower than 1.4.1, the new features justify the slight slowdown. I have converted to using .dng, ie importing and converting my .cr2 files to dng. After a conversation with Adobe Ambassador John Doogan (look for some joint workshops in the future), all my doubts have been allayed. And the main reason? The new dng 1.2 standard, which allows you to import the picture styles in your camera-specific software and use them inside LR2.0 and finally have a reason for using the calibration tab in the Develop module. Not only that, you can create custom camera profiles. It is so damn good, it was worth the upgrade price just to get this. I am not going to explain it; others have done it sooner and better. Have a look here and here and here. Then go and download it. Awesome!
If you are wondering what the future of photography of photography looks like, then there are 2 words you need to get to know; RED and Scarlet. The movie industry already know about them. We will need to do so as well. Read about it here and here

That’s interesting — I haven’t noticed LR2’s being slower, although I’m sure I’m not pushing it anywhere near as hard as you, Tony. Otherwise, I agree: I like this a lot. It still has serious bugs, though. It’s crashed my machine a couple of times — e.g., don’t try switching modules while the screen’s still dimmed!
As for the camera profiling, well, I’d rather upgrade my camera — if I could afford it ;^(

A rare Pete comment!Komai pakipaki!
as you say, it HAS MAJOR BUGS and I look forward to the update!
Try the profiles; you may be pleasantly surprised. It certainly did good thing for the files from my 10D!
