- Lightroom Version Number
- Classic CC 8.3.1
- Operating System
- Windows 10
Hi there,
I asked this question already here: Classic CC much slower than LR5.x ?
but the answers were not satisfying, especially not considering the magnitude of the problem:
when Lightroom is doing batch jobs (import, export) it eats up ALL performance. Just browsing a simple webpage next to it is almost impossible, watching locally stored videos via VLC: almost impossible.
RAM is fine, just all Cores are @100%.
Is this normal behavior? I'm a pretty experienced computer person and I have never had a software having so massive impact on other programs. Since multi-core technology started, even a software failure using 100% CPU isn't this bad any more. Not as bad as Lightroom(*).
AFAIK this kind of performance highchecking should be avoided on an OS-level.
I'm happy to answer all questions about my hardware, but since this happens on both my Desktop PC as well as on my Notebook, both with decent specs, both with sufficient RAM (which isn't closely fully utilized by LR) I don't think it matters. My question is more about this being a general LR issue. If so I should find thousands of complaints on Google, but I don't. All I find are general performance/speed complaints. This makes me rather confused.
Thx,

*: sure it's a good thing when software is written close to the metal allowing it to perform to the max. But for obvious reasons I want to use my PC in multitasking mode and even the most power hungry application manage to leave space for other programs next to them.
