I just discovered something I thought I would share. I have the majority of my raw images off on a NAS. I'm adding Job Identifiers and it was going slow. e.g. if I had a set of 700 images for the same job, it would take so long that I would just wonder off and start watching YouTube. I had the remote NAS mounted on my desktop at the time so LR could find the RAW images if it needed to even though I didn't see why it would.
Out of curiosity, I unmounted the NAS so now LR doesn't have access to the RAW images and the update to the metadata is pretty much instant as it should be. I guess, for whatever reason, LR is going out and at least checking to see if it can access the RAW image every time the metadata is changed. So... I guess the moral of the story is don't mount your NAS unless you really need to such as for printing or exporting.
