P: Slow walking between photos in Loupe view

I've been noticing a big performance decrease after updating to 5.4 both my iMac Pro and MacBook pro with M1 Pro CPU. 

After I open the app and start working in the beginning everything is alright, snappy and quick. After a while (5-10 min or less) I experience slow loading of photos - when switching from one to another; when zooming and when switching panels. Sometimes this lag is around 3-4 sec which is very noticable. The GPU is doing its thing because the graphics are not choppy, but there's just a delay in doing the above mentioned processes. 

Anyone else experiencing such issue on Mac?

The engineers have asked if you can open Activity Monitor as you use LrD and monitor what is consuming resources. 

A video screen capture showing LrD side by side with the Activity Monitor set to its Memory Tab would be a big help.

Thanks - those were helpful.

 

Questions from engineering:

1) Ask if there is new hardware? i.e. New monitor. The specs say the resolution is 5120x2880
2) If this degradation is new to 5.4 (i.e. were earlier releases ok)?
3) The next time the performance problem occurs, have the customer generate a diagnostic log immediately after the degradation.
4) Do you have a lot of presets? Estimate for how many you've used/installed?

For LrDesktop Diagnostic Log

  • Go to Preferences
  • Account Section
  • Hold down the [Opt/Alt] key to make [Diagnostic Log] button appear.

Let me know when you have the log ready to ship to us.

Same issue on both of my PC's. Severely affects the work flow.

Same problem here on an M1 Pro. It's absolutely horrible. Nearly unusable due to how slow it is.
