P: LR4 extremely slow web module gallery building

Lightroom V4 web module is extremely slow. I am using TTG CE2 components and compared with LR 3 which was not very swift, LR4 is painfully slow at building and exporting gallery and pages components.

Gary, Go back to 3.6 and use the 3.6 catalogue. It should all be there still. I'm just waiting for progress while I carry on with 3.5 - this is the biggest disappointment yet from Adobe.

I just installed a completely new Win7 Professional system HD, I have 16gb ram, 2tb hd, as well as others. So I decided to try the new LR 4.1 RC. Installation went fine. I brought one of TTG Highslide CE galleries, 19 images. I exported it and at first the TTG whizzed by. But when the images started, man oh man, talk about molasses in January in Siberia. I watched the export folder and it took around 20 minutes for 19 images. Glad I didn't have 50, or 75, or 250!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, LR 4.1 RC ISN'T ANY BETTER.

This is very discouraging. I really like much of the LR 4 improvements but this has got to give or - I don't know what I will do. Can I go back to LR 3.6? Will the catalogue and images still work?? Serious question.

So Jeffrey Tranberry, 4.1 is not any better in my estimation.

Where to go from here Jeffrey?? I think we would all like to know.

Thanks for letting me spout off.

It's weird as well that the progress bar disappears after the non image processing is done... And then after quite a while reappears to sloooooooooowly work on the image rendering part of the process... Tricked me numerous time thinking "Wow, this was fast!" and then being surprised with a no image web gallery...

Glad to hear that a fix is on the way. If the image processing wasn't so much better than LR3.6 I would go back to that one for now...

This is targeted to be addressed in the final release of 4.1.

Same issue here using TTG. Because of this and other "acknowledged" issues, which BTW still are not fixed, I've reverted to 3.6. I can be patient up to a point, but if Adobe continues to remain SILENT regarding their progress the next step will be to request a refund for 4.0.

C' on man, lets keep your customers in the loop. Silence is not the way!

Not only the export are slow, but the updating of previews are slow as Hxxx too...
Even if only 4 pict in gallery...

insane!

I am using WIN7 LR4 with 16g ram. When trying to process images in the develop module it takes many many many seconds for the sliders to "catch up' and then if you switch to another slider it takes many many many more seconds for that one. I am using the 'live' version. It almost looks like we all will have to go back to LR 3.6. While many of the new features are nice and some are valuable the performance is to unbelievably poor that one wonders what has happened to the brains behind LR4???? Gary

I was hoping the 4.1 RC would address this but it doesn't seem to. Web gallery builds are still slow, s l o w , s l o w
(actually, the image processing part of the gallery export is slow, the rest seems pretty quick)
