Bridge Still Slow Since 14.0.1 – Preview Lag Persists in 15.0.3

Question

Adobe Bridge 15.0.3 is still slow. The last fast and reliable version was 14.0.0. This issue has been present since 14.0.1 and nothing seems to have improved. The preview function continues to load slowly, taking several extra seconds even after thumbnails and previews are fully cached. It seriously affects the workflow, especially when handling large numbers of files. Please prioritize fixing this problem – it’s been around for several versions now. I’ve already shared a video comparison between version 14.0.0 (fast) and 15.0.1 (slow), and unfortunately, version 15.0.3 behaves exactly the same.

I would really appreciate a response from someone on the Adobe team who actually understands what’s going on technically. It’s quite frustrating (and honestly disappointing) to feel like this long-standing issue is being completely ignored. It gives the impression that Adobe doesn’t really care about the experience of its users — especially those of us who rely on these tools professionally every day.

Please prove me wrong and take this seriously.
