uphotography, regardless of what you think, you would expect that I did what you mentioned being in IT. I'm not gonna experiment every possibility of whichever photo type works because I too have photos to process my self. I'm not gonna try to "cure" the problem as you so simply state, I just think its arrogant of you to take such a negative spin on it when everyone here is just offering up their own problems and solutions. the cache size change works, and it worked for me to some extent. I increased the size 1 GB at a time, and it reflected in performance. after all the explanations everyone's offered do you also need an in depth explanation? cuz last time I checked, adobe wasn't paying me to sit here and solve their problems. if they were id give you a full breakdown. and why would you assume I wouldn't have access to the code? I could debug it, but to what avail? I didn't write the program, and I don't specialize in program writing. if I was getting paid to solve it, I'd provide you more details, but as the case with this thread is, we're all trying to help each other. if you don't like the answers here or don't want to rant here, then please use that other thread that you so highly recommend. if it was so great you wouldn't be on this one as it is. stop trying to disprove everyone's attempts at fixing the problem or finding workarounds. everyone here is just as frustrated as you are with LR4. you complaining that "most" of us are not IT and we're not gonna solve it, doesn't add any help one bit. until you start paying me to be an IT for you, I can offer up whatever information I want about my troubleshooting steps even if they don't meet your "in depth" requirements. just because most are not IT doesn't mean they can't stumble across a solution. more people trying is better than one person complaining in my opinion. go complain to adobe directly in a forum they respond to. while the rest of us try to offer up some help to each other on settings/drive setup/file types/hardware, etc. anyways you don't have to agree to what I said or respond because I frankly don't care about your stance at this point. I am going to still offer up suggestions and try everyone's work arounds to see if there's any success. for those that get theirs working, kudos to them. for those of us that are still having issues, either adobe will issue an update or we'll find a solution/workaround at some point.
