I have a problem for quite a while with slowness of LR CC on a 2019 MacBook Pro 15”, i7, 32 GB, 2TB SSD. 500 GB of operating system, paging space, etc. the catalogue is on the SSD. I’ve done all optimization steps I could find. The memory usage is 70-100%. The CPU usage is 93%. All other windows are closed and nothing is being done. Whether LR is idling or in use, the high memory and CPI usage is the same. I have a very large catalogue. I suspect that LR is churning away at keeping that in memory. Otherwise I can’t imagine why it would be so incredibly slow. Exporting files takes forever. Memory utilization jumps to 100%. On the iPad and iPhone there is no issue with speed.
Can anyone please give advice on how to tune LR so it will speed up and not hog so much memory and CPU?

That does sound odd. Have you tried uninstall/reinstall?
