Lightroom performance on ASUS laptops

I've been fighting with Lightoom Classic's performance since I installed it. I've literally been at the point of screaming and swearing at it.  I see so many others complaining of performance issues so I keep patiently waiting for fixes that never come.

But I've noticed that the sorts of performance issues other people are having are more mindane.  I'll click from one picture to the next and wait 20-30 seconds (this is not an exaggeration) as the whole Lightroom screen goes blank and laboriously redraws itself, component by component. Oddly, Lightroom (nor anything else) is eating any major memory or CPU; this was happening with 20GB physical RAM still available and 85% CPU available. So I started tearing my system down to see if Lightroom was truly this bad or something else was getting in the way.

In my exploration I came upon a little program called "ASUS Splendid Video Enhancement Technology".  It apparently switches between various modes for gaming, watching videos, etc... none of which I do.  So out the window it went.

Without this "Splendid Video Enhancement", Lightroom was finally up to reasonable speed.  Still not a performance demon but changing views was now less than a second rather than 30.  I couldn't find any mention of a conflict between Lightroom and Splendid, and perhaps it's limited to my specific setup, but I wanted to get it online in case anyone else is running into ridiculously slow redraws on an ASUS laptop.
