Clues to Need to Reinstall on OX X?

I've been using Rev on OS X for a long time. I haven't yet upgraded to 
2.2.1 but I've been running 2.2 since its release. For the most part, 
my experience has been fairly trouble-free.

But in the past two weeks as I work on a more complex project than my 
previous ones, I'm finding that Rev absolutely freezes on launch and I 
ultimately have to re-install it. That's happened three times this week 
and twice last week. This seems excessive to me.

As a rule, it seems the launch process hangs at the point when Rev is 
loading menus and plugins. I've tried selective removal and 
re-insertion of various plug-ins without gaining any useful knowledge.

Needless to say, this has me pausing and wondering about the overall 
stability of the environment under moderate stress. I know I've read 
other messages here from time to time on the subject. What is your 
recent experience? Is this an anomaly I should try to track down to a 
specific combo of plugins and/or menu stuff? Or is this something I 
just have to learn to live with?
