Why is Adobe Light Room so slow? Simply scrolling through the film strip can take seconds between images. Newly added images can take up to 30 seconds. Stitching is super slow to create panoramas compared to other programs like PTGUI. Simply selecting the crop tool causes the LR screen to go grey and then refresh. Everything I do in LR is slow and I’m constantly waiting on it.

You can see when I navigate between images in the film strip that it takes a long time to display the next image. In some cases 30 seconds. It’s super slow.

This is 13.5.1, but on another machine I have 15.4 and it’s the same thing.
