P: Slow UI when using Mac and Custom Display Profile

Hello,

 

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic v10.0, all UI-related functionality is painfully slow. All editing functions are working correctly and quickly but scrolling through the catalogue or even scrolling a side panel is taking many long seconds to refresh. Unreasonably long.

 

Disabling GPU Accellaration has no affect on my Lightroom's performance.

 

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5

32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3

AMD FirePro D700 6 GB

Hello

I expect to get again contempt by Adobe advocates with this post.

IF Adobe decided to setup, in a single step, a Mac version that runs both on M1 and previous processors,  this was a crazy and stupid idea.

The right way to do this is to setup a to setup a M1 dedicated version,  and later to achieve convergence between versions.

This allows to provide the M1 owners (what percentage of Mac Installed base?) the best possible software, while avoiding to put into troubles existing users.

Again, IF this is the undergoing scenario, this kind of decision is part of QA and customers respect.

Sorry, this comment does not provide any solution to those who have issues with V10 and who has lost a lot of time, upgrading and going back to V9.

Personally, I start to test and evaluate Capture One.

It would be my guess that the lion share of the effort that has gone into the 10.1 update was dedicated to supporting ARM-based silicon, as other posters had previously surmised. Introducing support for new CPU and GPU architectures is anything but trivial and it's understandable that Adobe wanted push this out the door before Christmas.

That being said, I hope the mac development team still has enough energy left to get the issue that is the topic of this thread resolved before the holidays... 🙂

It is like Adobe is clueless as to what they changed from 9 to 10.

Mac Pro 2019/96gb/Radeon Vega II/12 core. Same sluggish and pathetic performance on 10.1. Custom profile or not doesn’t matter for me. It’s the same. 

going back to 9. Which is super smooth.

Good old Adobe.

There is no problem that Adobe (with a little effort) cannot make worse 🙂

10.1 fixes quite a number of other problems, although sadly this one will take more work. Should people suffering from the other bugs be made to wait until Adobe can find the solution for this one?

If you have never experienced GPU/display-related issues before, it's likely an LR-specific issue. NB: Apple Diagnostics contains a GPU test - here's more info on how to run it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731

*Ron_Pfister It's possible I guess. I'm using HDMI already. Should be straightforward I would have thought. I just ran a Geekbench stress test on the GPU. Nothing got flagged up and no artefacts anywhere. Who knows 😕😕

Agree...10.1 is sluggish by comparison. Going back to 9 again since there is nothing in 10 that I really require or use...
