speed of import from sd card

[mike doyle]

i have just upgraded from a standalone version of LR to the CC version.
on importing from my cameras sd card, the import goes really slowly whereas it ran a lot faster.
this is true for two different cameras and different sd cards that were once pretty quick.
I am importing only new photos, and have changed nothing as far as I can see.
any ideas?
cheers

What version did you upgrade from? If it was from Lightroom 6, it is the very same program. So it would seem strange that just switching to Lightroom CC would suddenly cause a slowdown in the import process. Also, have you installed the latest update which is Lightroom CC 2015.12?

from LR5to the latest CC version, at a loss really to understand it. nothing else running on the machine except Facebook.

Have you tried disabling the graphics processor unit support in the Lightroom preferences? It's on the performance tab? This option has been added primarily for those who have the new 4K/5K high-resolution monitors, and can just cause problems for the rest of us.
