On my 10 Core iMac Pro with Vega64 and 64 GB RAM the scroll speed of latest Lightroom CC in the library is so ridiculously slow that it just can't be true.
Disable or enable hardware acceleration doesn't change anything.
It's literally unusable like this and I only got 400 images in my library.
When flicking the scroll area of my mouse it takes 1-2 seconds until it moves.
Anyone else experiencing this? How can this be true?

On a MacBook Pro 16" it is still choppy. Seems like low quality software.

Also better here! I had done the trick of disabling opening it in high resolution mode which was working pretty well, but with the latest update I turned on high resolution mode again and tried, and things are pretty good. I wouldn't say it's lightning fast and the most responsive scrolling I've ever experienced (I have around 14,000 photos), but it's gone from being almost unusable to being perfectly usable.

I experienced the same. spent $7000 on an iMac pro, and LR run better on my old 2011. I can't believe Adobe don't care , may be it is a fight wit Apple... I don't know... I started using Capture One and I think the made me a favor, it is way better soft! the best quality I've ever seen from the raw files!!

It is a really noticeable and appreciated improvement! Thank you for the hard work! It is really nice to see that people in Adobe are actually listening to the users.
It would have been perfect if we have received a feedback months ago (at least to inform that you are working on it)...
Do you also plan to implement such improvement in the Classic version? The scrolling could be better also...
But thank you again for the work done!

The update just showed up. Yes, grid scrolling is improved. The movement is closer to being fluid now. From what I can tell the jumps between screen updates got reduced. It updates more frequently now, which is closer to the appearance of a smooth scrolling movement. But we can still see the jumps which leads to a slight jitter-effect. I am very grateful for the improvement but also for the promise that one day this problem will be fully fixed.

It's still choppy, but much more useable than it was. Thank you for your hard work on this! Additional improvements would of course still be welcome.
