Standard & Smart Previews generation slow to generate

Mac Sonoma LRC 14 

 

So this only happens during a specific situation. If I import one set of photos (whether its from an SD card or an SSD) the previews generate as they should. For some reason, if I go to import another set of photos directly after (regardless whether its from an SD card or SSD) the previews take FOREVER to generate. About 10x longer than the first set. The only variable is when the photos are imported. Its always the second set. This has been a problem since LRC 14.
