LR 2015.14 slow to import

Question

I am using LR CC 2015.14, a fast card and a good reader. This common problem of LR being slow to import to import has finally settled in here. The computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Pro with 64GB of ram running High sierra 10.13.6. Everything is up to date according to Apple and the Adobe Cloud. A Promaster UDMA 7 128GB and a Sandisc 128GB SDXC card were both tried. I tested the card/reader combo by uploading to a folder on the desktop and that was fast enough. Going straight to LR CC is still slow. I have read many posts on this topic and tried unchecking options (auto write to XMP was not checked nor embed previews) and deleting 3 files from preferences to no avail.

This is a show stopper and I really do not know where to go from here. Any fresh ideas?

Reading more advice I upgraded to LR Classic 9.3 with no change.   The Canon 5D Mark IV files are uploading at a rate of about 1 every 2 minutes.   Uploading straight to a HD takes 2.5' for 8 files.   Uploading to LRC on my MacBook Pro took 20 seconds.   That's certainly more of what I expect and have been seeing for years on any LR version.   There has to be an explanation since there usually is.
