You should put as much memory in your laptop as it supports, period. On the iMac on which I write this, I have 4 GB 800 DDR RAM. My iMac is slightly faster than your laptop (2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) but that is not a dramatic difference. Yet, I comfortable manage a LR database with 20,000 photos in it. I think the main reason for the difference between yours and mine experience lies mainly in the differing amounts of RAM.
