Lightroom Still Laggy

Hello fellow Lightroom users. I just built a new computer completely tailored for Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Intel i9 9900k (all 8 cores hit 4.7 Ghz while editing), 64 GB of RAM, Quadro P2000 GPU (I have a 10 bit monitor for Photoshop), Samsung 970 Pro for C drive, Intel Optane 900P for Lightroom catalog and raw files, two 4 TB WD Red drives running in RAID 1 for storage. Windows 10 Home and all software was just downloaded and installed. So literally everything is up to date. I created a new catalog and started to get to work. I do real estate photography with most of my images being HDR. So I'm aware I have many 32 bit, 65 MB files. But I use an old Canon 60D that only has 18 MP sensor. So that should be handled by LR with ease. Lightroom was fast and snappy for only a few days after the build. I am only up to 1000 image in the catalog on the Optane drive. Already, no matter what, Lightrooms performance in the library module is slowing down. Right clicking on images can take up to 4 seconds to show the menu. Selecting a photo can be just as long before it's actually highlighted an selected. I'm so upset. I know this doesn't sound so bad. 4 seconds is not a long time, but when you're trying to process a shoot those seconds really really add up. There is a delay with every photo you select. There is way too much waiting on the program to catch up. In development the panels can also lag a few seconds to display. Clicking the adjustment brush will take a few seconds before it's shown. All of this has been instant in the past. I was dying editing on a MacBook Pro. It was sooo slow. I spent $3,200 on a new computer with the sole focus of have a great LR experience. But performance is already getting back to how it was on my MacBook.

Anyone have any suggestions??? I've read all the "10 things to speed up Lightroom" articles. NO HELP in any of them.

P.S. While actually editing, my 8 core processor just crushes everything to the point of it seeming immediate with what ever I do with the sliders. Exporting is also extremely fast.

Clicking the adjustment brush will take a few seconds before it's shown.

So you are using the adjustment brush? This is the Develop Module. Are you doing a lot of brushing on individual photos? This is known to slow down Lightroom (both the develop module, and if previews need to be generated, it will slow down the Library Module as well).

You need to uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" as this will slow down the brushing and spot healing. If that doesn't help, you might want to do the brushing as the next to last editing step, and the last editing step would be turning on lens corrections and transforms. Or do the brushing and spot healing in Photoshop.

Thanks dj_paige for the ideas. Of course I use the adjustment brush, when needed. It is not excesive, I would say it's below normal use. All I do from time to time is brush in a little exposure change.

Thats a REAL bummer if I have turn off the GPU procssing and then edit through a shoot, then go back to the begining to start turning on lens corrections or do any transformations. If that does help, shame on Adobe for poor programming. Just sayin. It sucks that most answers you find on the internet involve turning off features or processing images in stages.

I probably missed something, why would you revisit lens corrections? Why would that not be done early and once? And what has that to do with GPU Acceleration?

Either not enough or too much caffeine this morning for me.

So this (the lag) is happening in the Library Panel?

All other panels perform OK?

Two things you could try:

1) Go to LR menu Edit> Preferences> Performance and uncheck 'Use Graphics Processor.' (I know this will seem counter to the high-spec PC you have)

2) Follow the directions at the below link to change your monitor profile to sRGB if using a standard gamut display or Adobe RGB if using a wide gamut display. Restart LR to load the new profile.

Tony, thanks for taking the time to offer some ideas. Yes, while working in Library mode. General selecting of photos and right clicking on photos can have a 3-4 second delay. I will try deactivating GPU Processing and see how that helps. I calibrate my monitor. It is a PA241W-BK and spectraview calibrates the monitor itself. It has a 14bit 3D internal programable lookup table. But I will try the adobeRGB route as well.
