Lightroom Classic 2022 painfully slow on Dell 7480 with i5-7300u and 32G RAM

Hello, I have a photo collection of around 40k images on a Dell Latitude 7480 with the Intel i5-7300u and 32GB of RAM. I want to clean up redundant and not needed photos before migration to a new MAC Studio. Since applying the 2022 updates I find Classic painfully slow. I optimize the catalog regularly. I have a 1TB Crutial SATA SSD and outside of Classic this well turned machine has no performance issues. I have already tried many of the recommended performance tips and they have only helped a little. I tried turning SYNC, Face detection and address detection off again with minimal improvements. I did not have these issues before the latest updates. This machine seems to meet the HW requirements. Does anyone have a similar configuration and if so how is the performance? I am wondering what I may have missed or if for Classic 2022 this machine is underpowered. I am a DBA and have worked in large ERP system tuning since the 80's. As a DBA I am following a rule around cleaning up data before migrating to the newer modern MAC Studio platform. If I can't resolve this I may just move everything to the MAC Studio. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

By any chance, is your catalog file (and all its corresponding preview caches) stored in a location that syncs with OneDrive? I have found LRC and OneDrive battling each other over resources and bandwidth (as LR updates its preview cache, OneDrive tries to keep syncing the files).

 

It works a lot better if you put the catalog in a place that isn't synced with OneDrive (or you can try to use "Selective Sync" in OneDrive to  avoid syncing the LR Catlaog and cache, but I've found that to be a frustrating battle, too). Alternately, you could try pausing OneDrive sync while you work in LR to see if that helps.
