Since changing to new Macbook pro and Creative Cloud subscription service, Lightroom has been either slow or unresponsive. It seems to be worse with newest version and with Golden Gate OS, although same problem with Tahoe. Memory on computer: 1.4 TB. This is a widely experienced problem but there does not seem to be a response from Adobe.

Hi, sorry you're running into this — here are Adobe's official troubleshooting steps to try in order for slow/unresponsive Lightroom Classic:

1. Force quit/restart Lightroom Classic and restart your Mac.

2. Make sure Lightroom Classic and macOS are fully up to date.

3. Reset Lightroom Classic's preferences, then check the GPU setting in Preferences > Performance (try turning Use Graphics Processor off to test).

4. Pause Sync With Lightroom while editing, optimize the catalog, and increase the Camera Raw cache in Preferences > File Handling.
