Just installed the new Lightroom CC and OMG the brush is HYPER slow...  like almost unusable with the GPU enabled. Like 20 times slower, no kidding. And my machine is pretty fast and the GPU pass and is compatible and pretty fast with anything else..  Slow like I do not see the results until I release the pen....  Same Machine, same photo LR 5.7 works perfectly fine.

          I'm also a victim. My system:

          Windows 8.1 64bit

          32GB RAM

          SSD

          Geforce GTX 770

            I just upgraded to LR 6 and have the same issue.  I haven't explored all of the tools but the adjustment brush is glacially slow compared to LR 5.7.  I am running the following hardware.

            Win7 PRO 64

            Intel Core i7 5820K 3.3GH (6 core)

            32 G DDR4 2133 MHz

            GTX 970 Video (4G)

            Crucial M550 SSD (512)

            Western Digital Black HD (4T)

            Dell U2412M Ultrasharp Monitor

            This should be plenty of horsepower to run LR easily.  How could Adobe release this pig without adequate testing?

            Please advise if there are any solutions short of reverting to LR 5

              Best thing you can do is go bat to 5 until 6 is tested and ready if you are a heavy user of the adjustment brush, I am, and I could not use LR CC to do my job, it would take me easily 10 times what takes me on LR 5

                I would love to go back, but the LR6 library isn't backwards compatible. Now I'd have to open a library file from March or something, with the whole gap of image work from March through July!

                  I realy hope Adobe is fixing the speed issues on LR6 / LRCC because on my Mac everything seems to be slower.

                  Also the installation / upgrade from LR5.7 wasn't smooth. This is solved, but IMO, this software is not ready yet. It is slow with previews, brushing, comparing.

                  I am working on an 2013 maxed out iMac so I don't expect my Mac to be the limiter here. LR5.7 was way more smooth. Please fix this, Adobe.

                    I am having similar problems - working with 57,000 photos - some tasks in the library module are taking a over 30 seconds to complete.  It seems there is a problem with this LR6/LRCC - although I am not sure if it is a creative cloud problem.  I also noticed error messages about my software when not connected to the web - is this now essential for a creative cloud version to be connected to the web at all times?

                    Overall not a good update by Adobe.

                      Not sure about the connectivity errors since I have a laptop that's almost never connected to the web running LR6 and I don't see it complaining. Do you have something constantly connecting out in the background, other than the cloud?

                      If there is any doubt about that this is a LR CC problem and not my machine, here is a video of the very same thing with LR5.7.1 where you can see it is many times faster than LR CC.

                        Not only this is slower, even the simple zoom in to 1:1, the time the software needs to render the full resolution preview is a lot slower too. and I have a stripe of SSDs that gives me over 1000MB/s so it is not an HDD problem, plus is 5 times faster in LR 5.7.1 

                        At the office my HP Z820 have a Quadro 6000 and also is MUCH slower than LR 5.7.1   with and without GPU enabled.

                        On all the years I have being using LR I have never seen a new release to be this much slower than the previous one.

                          trying to keep it in the front page to see if I can get the attention of any Adobe employee caring about making this better.
