Bridge 2022 thumbnail generation super slow on Mac mini M1

Somehow Bridge generates the thumbnails extremely slow on my Mac Mini M1. Labeling of metadata is also extreme slow. What's going on? I've bought this Mac to support large batches of photo processing but I'd rather go back to my old Macbook Air. Someone knows what to do about this?

 

Thank you!

Same here on a MacBook Pro M1 Max. Painfully.

Could you post your preferences/cache settings?

What kind of images are you browsing?

It is Bridge, not your MacBook .

Hi Chasinf5s,

 

Thanks. Is there anything I can do about it? Changing the settings?

Nope, the setting change they claim is "faster" is like changing from a 1 legged turtle to a 2 legged turtle.  Bridge is completely inadequate even on fast machines because of how long it takes to render thumbnails / cache.
