[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2.0b80 released

[Marius Strom]

I'm on 64-bit Windows 7, and saving plans (~100 objects, all with downloaded 
photos) takes <4-5 seconds.

So the question is: what's causing the slowdown? I don't have a 64-bit Win 
OS to test against, and I'm loathe to throw more money at MS only to find on 
my virgin computer that it works fine (usually the case). Are any of you 
within 45 mins of Seattle, with a Win 64 installation, showing these 
negative behaviours?
