I just upgraded to a new Lenovo PC with maxed out specs:
64GB RAM
2.8Gz Xeon Processor
Intel Graphics card
SSD operating hard drive - with OS, Lightoom catalog, etc.
2TB second internal hard drive for my RAW files and Lightroom cache
Windows 10 64bit
I expected everything to FLY on the new machine, but so far Lightroom has been much slower. The laptop boots in under 10 seconds, but when I'm using LR it's much more sluggish than on my 4 year old laptop. Photoshop seems to run quite quickly, but LR is terrible at seemingly random times.
I generally understand it being a little slow with rendering RAW files, but my concern is it can be very slow just using tools in the develop module. The crop tool can take 10 seconds to be useable. It can then take 6 or 7 seconds to CLOSE the crop tool (I click on it, it looks like nothing happens, then it closes).
Another very annoying item is that when I scroll from photo to photo in develop it can take 8 to 10 seconds just to show the new photo in the preview pane. I don't mean it takes that long to render it- it takes that long just to switch from the photo I was on to the photo I clicked to via the filmstrip.
Another example. At times, I'll change a slider- like exposure for color temp. The slider will move okay, then I have to wait 7 seconds for it to show on the photo.
I've disabled AV for the Lightroom files and folders, Optimized my catalog, unchecked "write to XMP"... any thoughts would be helpful. The only differences between using my old laptop from two weeks ago and the new one is that the old one was on Windows 7 and it had last month's Lightroom version.
