loading events when collapsing library

There are situations where FCPX will spend endless time loading events for no apparent reason. For instance, when collapsing the library layout (hiding the events) which in my view should be nothing else than hiding some text, FCPXwill load ALL events in the library BEFORE collapsing it. WHY ?? It takes forever and is absolutely useless. Maybe there is some technical reason, but in that case it is a design flaw.

Just to be clear, do you mean clicking the triangle next to the library name to collapse the events? If this is not immediate there is something going on that is not normal. I have a library with 47 events including the Smart Collections, and they close as soon as I click. Perhaps you mean something else.
