LR Classic CC 7.0.1 Still Slow

Library.

I have 6000 images to rate and cull from a recent trip to Vietnam. It takes around 2 seconds to switch images even with pre-generated previews, a fast computer and 32 gigs of memory. That means I'd be spending half a day just waiting for each image to load.

Time to start seriously looking for alternatives.

I have the same problem.

After upgrading to LR CC Classic the software is almost unusable in the develop module.

I'm a wedding photographer, I have to postproduce more than 800 pics a time, my workflow is now 3 times (or even more) slow.

this is unacceptable by Adobe

Well Im down to restarting LR 20-30 times a day now.... Feeling great PAYING FOR THIS GARBAGE KIND OF SHIT!!!! A LITTLE MAINTENANCE ASAP ADOBE!!!!!!

Adobe - i've been using the create suite for photographers for the past 4 years and i'm extremely unhappy and very disappointed with this terribly snail-slow Lightroom!! How dare you break it - i'm at least 2 weeks behind with my work now - i've tried everything, purging my cache, increasing memory size, optimizing, moving my libraries and edit-locations to my local SSD drive! I pay a lot of money every month for this software and it's terrible! Please do something asap about this!

I run it on a iMac with 16Gb of memory - before the update everything worked just fine.

Well, as a Lightroom user since ver 4, I haven't had ANY performance issues, AND my computer is rather old now - using a PENTUIM chip duel processor! (2010) (Not to mention having an old GPU Geforce 210, and Lightroom runs the GPU without issues!) So, I really don't understand people's performance issues! However, speed is relative. What is fast for one person is slow for another! (I will add though, the changes of module, changes in Dev module etc. are not instantaneous. Should we expect all changes to be instant?) 

Yes, this version of Lightroom, while initially a little quicker, slows down to useless over the course of an editing session.

My catalogues are tiny - I create separate  catalogues for each job. I have a 40gb cache on a separate drive. I have tried smart previews, 1:1 previews... the list goes on.

As I type this, to switch between photos shot on a Canon 5DmkIV in develop view 5-7 secs. Move the exposure slider and wait for a repsonse 3-4 secs. Undo the slider move, 7-8 secs.

Restart Lightroom and it's good for a little bit, then back to slow again shortly after.

I honestly believe that this is NOT A PRIORITY for ADOBE. 

They'd rather invest manhours in determining how to more efficiently squeeze money out of the marketplace consumers they now monopolize.

Most of the issues will be fixed in the next release but not before.  Not cost expedient.

IMHO

I too am having a painfully slow experience with LR since the upgrade. I have a Mac that is more than capable of handling LR (only about 2 yrs old). It takes so long for my raw camera files to upload, then it takes so long for the previews and then slow for the develop mode. That's TRIPLE SLOW ADOBE!!! This has really slowed my speed in processing the hundreds of photos I've just shot for a Santa photoshoot. The parents are being patient but I'm not! PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!

Same experience here... It just gets slower and slower until it basically stops working and you have to restart the program. And it just SLAMS the memory. Adobe you NEEEEEEEED to fix this NOW!!!!
