Thank you for your reporting and your continued patience. 

From my experience I would guess it is probably the GPU and/or its drivers.

I would make a test clean install partition on the machine that has the problems and see if it makes any difference. If not then it is probably the GPU and/or its drivers

SSD: This is kind of old but I believe still pertinent and very well researched and written:

You can scroll to the conclusions if you want it 'quick and clean'.  

Yeah... None of these hot fixes bring sufficient relief. I downgraded to 9.4 and I'm working with an older catalog for now – until –or if– this can be resolved. Sometimes updating just does not make sense & the older version performs exactly as it should.

I have around 30k+ images in one catalog and have all the previews built (I leave it overnight to build previews on a fresh install). Works fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro. Maybe having the catalog and previews on a SSD helps...

This is not applicable to LR 10 though...9.4 works fine.

Some reading this forum will identify temporary solutions as your machine has plenty of power. I'd start with comparing your slow and fast systems to find the differences:

• plugins 
• monitor calibration 
• monitor color space
• ... 

Yes we windows users have experienced very few problems with V10 and even fewer with V10.1 but I assume that you have a good business reason for choosing Apple products. 

So glad I had a chance to read that you liked his workshop! 😜 Not the correct venue for personal messages.

Easy to explain: goto grid and move from one picture to the other an wait for the spinning beach ball… for ages.. its damn slow just to display the pictures. Okay, I’ve got a couple, bit is 10.000+ really an issue for a professional app? - this relates to 10.1 - 9.4 is okay-ish but could be faster..

Just curious @eschhols, what is slow in 9.4? Just generally slow or any comparison to some?

Hi Markus, hope you’re well. I did a workshop with you in NYC a good few years ago when I was visiting from Scotland. Itching to come back.
