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

Yeah, I'm now 100% sure. 10.2 is faster than I've seen LR in a good while!

Many thanks to Adobe for fixing this. My experience today suggests that the previous unworkably slow performance of 10.1.1 has been completely solved by this update.

Thank you LR Team - solved with LR 10.2!

Sometimes, like yesterday, it would take some time between opening LR and the slowdown, so I'm not yet going to say I'm 100% sure this is fixed, but I'm about 95% sure. Launched it about an hour ago. This is way faster and keeps up with me instead of lagging my actions as it was yesterday. Thanks!

@Rikk I'm happy to say that this update has made Lightroom more than just usable again. It's more responsive than it's been for years. A big thank you to Adobe for really getting this right.

Vastly better, thanks for getting it out at long last :-).

@bill_3305731 FWIW, re: GPU, LR doesn't seem to use it very much at all.  There's no visible difference in how responsive the application is, and even making adjustments doesn't show substantial improvement between the eGPU and the internal.  I'm going to sell the eGPU now while the market is hot, and then wait for an Mx machine this fall.

@FCbee they get pushed out slowly around the world to avoid crashing the servers, refreshing just does a manual check for updates so you get them before they get pushed out

Ok, thanks, I did it and it appeared. But why is it necessary to refresh the CC app ? Usually the new updates show up as soon as they are available. I never had to refresh to see the updates…

It takes up to 24 hours for worldwide server propagation.  Make sure you refresh your Creative Cloud app to see the update.
