Safari 6 (almost) hangs when adding new bookmarks

I upgraded to Safari 6 and was upset that when I added a new bookmark I got the beach ball of death (is there also a beach ball of life). I impatiently killed Safari after 10 secs or so.
I tried adding bookmarks in any way I could, but always it seemed to hang.
Finally I resolved to give up but left Safari spinning. When I came back the bookmark was added. Not sure what it was doing or thinking about (perhaps whether there is also a beach ball of life), but now I can add bookmarks again without any delay.
