P: Slow performance on Xeon CPUs

I noticed that LR clone and brush tool on my XEON E5-1650 0 3.20GHz (Attention: E5-1650 0 and not E5-1650 v4) can not stress my CPU and after x minutes of working LR slow down, until I have to restart it.

Please see the full diskussion with the problem here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2210245 (test with different Lightroom versions, confrontation with a weak laptop, that works fine, tests wit other graphic grafic card, test with other bios settings etc. No results. Only restart LR or minor display resolution helps.)

Can anyone with an XEON E5-1650 0 3.2Ghz confirm this?

I am having the same problem. All local adjustment tools are causing the program to quickly slow down to a totally unacceptable speed. I am working with an Eizo CG275W as a main screen and an Eizo CG210 as a secondary screen. Reducing the resolution from 2560 x 1440 [native] to 1920 x 1080 helps with the problem but clearly makes editing more difficult and is not remotely suitable in the long or indeed medium term.
This problem seems to have become worse with recent releases.
I include the "System Information" which might help other more capable people resolve the issue:

I have the feeling it is a little bit better, but just a little bit. So waiting for a better update.

With the Nvidia video driver rolled back to 368.86 LR CC 2015.8 is performing well and the same as with CC 2015.7. This is on Windows 7 with an i7-860 quad core CPU. My performance issue was due to the Nvidia driver update, which was made shortly before the CC 2015.8 update.

if anyone at adobe reads this thread, I'm sure many of us including me will be happy to do some beta testing on our PCs if you send us some experimental versions to test for this issue.

My previously well-performing quad-core system with 12GB memory is now exhibiting the same issue. After working on some images for a few minutes I start to see a slow-down in Develop controls response and even Library module scrolling slows down. Memory usage keeps climbing, but even with 5GB  "available" memory" showing I see a performance decrease. I'm also seeing intermittent image "tiling" after upgrading to the latest 375.86 Nvidia Graphics driver, which I did before the CC 2015.8 update. I'm going to drop back to the previous 368.86 driver version I was using and see if performance is better.

After working for few hours with this release. I can confidently say that the performance issues have NOT been resolved and I still need to restart lightroom every 5-10 minutes to get back to have a responsive experience like it is after a lightroom restart otherwise it is painfully slow.

Adobe might have improve something as it feels take longer now before the performance drop kicks in.

keep working on it please as it has been like that that for more than a year, what a flop...

here is my spec.

After a few minutes working I have to wait a few seconds to use some tools.
Same here: At first glance, the new version seems to be faster. But after intensive work with many photos I quickly realize that nothing has changed. After X photos, Lightroom is slower and slower and needs to be restarted. I am frustrated!
