    my normal way of managing my photos would be to create an album with a title and have sub-albums within that album. Looking at dynamic albums based on searches, would this method be any slower in pulling the images than relying on folder/file structure? Would it be slower to just have all my sub albums not within "categories" and just use the dynamic albums? One is based on a search. My instinct tells me "search would be slower. Thanks in advance.

    Search will be slower but it may allow organizatons that are not practical otherwise. If your structure is fairlly static and you don't wish images to appear in multiple places then use the album/subalbum structure.
