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

I have the same problem. Somehow Lightroom slows down my entire Mac Pro 2019. Even other apps are unusable. As soon as you quit Lightroom, everything is back to speed.

@bill_3305731, your comment:

And you don't find it curious that thousands of Lightroom users are not having your problems, most running on less than the latest gear. 

is quite insulting

This is a real issue and I signed onto this thread early on and would like to stay on it so that I can be aware of a fix at the earliest opportunity possible as this truly affects my workflow and productivity for my business... However some are making it difficult to stay on this thread with the petty back and forth. Can you please all take a step back, post only genuinely REALISTIC and constructive comments and stop blowing up everyone else's inbox?

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

Not too much tongue in cheek Bill, I'll take the Macs far, far fewer GPU issues that so often crop up on Windows.

That's a sound core belief.

Perhaps one day Adobe will adopt it.

See Bill, there was no ranting here - other than you on your high horse belittling those with lesser equipment than yours and spouting opinionated nonsense.

Now go munch down some of that humble pie. Yum.

It covers all the bases:

  • for some it does nothing
  • for some it makes it worse
  • for the lucky ones it fixes it, not many of them have reported here
  • while certainly not an option for serious work, the mostly consistent fix is to switch to the OS default sRGB and no, I'm not suggesting that

Tongue in cheek (where's a emoji when you need one), one can always switch to Windows, we are only experiencing a couple of minor problems.
