I always tried to avoid fontbook for those reasons, I wish I had a better suggestion to your problem but I just havent attempted to use that application in such a long time.
Perhaps try the Linotype FontExplorerX if thats a possibility, free and works quite well I am finding in the two or three weeks I have been using it.

I did too (in Tiger) and that's all I can say. I've switched to Suitcase but altho' an improvement, not a great deal better...
I usually sorted it with a restart and keeping the amount of fonts in the folders/libraries within the program to a minimum.
Someone posted the Linotype font manager on here which seems to be really solid,

but it's a beta and font software ain't the kind of thing you change every day as you know.Good luck. It wasn't like this pre OSX either.
Progress my arse...

like everyone is saying, don't use Fontbook.. it really can't handle a designer's font library.
just leave Fontbook as originally installed with the system fonts in their OSX libraries, and set up a separate location for your personal font library, preferably on a different disk/ partition than OSX.
and use a 3rd party manager; Suitcase, FontAgentPro3, or Linotype FontXplorer.
