P: Slow UI when using Mac and Custom Display Profile

Hello,

 

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic v10.0, all UI-related functionality is painfully slow. All editing functions are working correctly and quickly but scrolling through the catalogue or even scrolling a side panel is taking many long seconds to refresh. Unreasonably long.

 

Disabling GPU Accellaration has no affect on my Lightroom's performance.

 

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Mac Pro (Late 2013)

AMD FirePro D700 6 GB

i1Profiler or bassICColor built it? Or maybe both cause issues?

*Tracy Bishop Yes, seems a display profile issue for some, depending on how the profile is built. What could be useful is to report what kind of display and what software created the profile.

5 year old iMac, Catalina 10.15.7.  Same problems with Lrc10 running slow then completely crashed about three times. Ran Disk Utility First Aid, still no joy. Then found this thread. Changed monitor profile to SRGB.....Bingo! Joy of joys all good, for now. iMac still has it's own issues but at least I can work on my photos again.

I do think that for a £9.98 a month subscription Adobe need to work harder to get these things sorted out. There seems to be an issue every time there's an update.

To downgrade (which I did straight away) Go to the CC application and alongside the Lightroom Classic entry you will see three dots (...) click on this and one of the options is "other versions" Click on that and you will see all the 9.x versions.

Downloading it seemed a very painless solution but what you must do is go back to the catalog that ran with your last 9.4 version. LrC doesn't overwrite the catalog, just copies it. The only thing you will miss is the previews which will remain with the V10 so it will run a little slowly at first as it rebuilds the previews.

lightroom painfully slow after upgrading to version 10. I have after reading here created a new screen profile which is a bit faster but still very slow and instead of lightroom being fun it is now sooo frustrating. I really hope adobe is working on this as this is not acceptable. Unfortunately my catalog is now version 10. can i downgrade it to version 9 so i can go back to the previous version of lightroom and where do i find the older version?

Lightroom Classic performance is now terrible on Version 10
The performance is very bad now and I never had issues before, my performance was really good before this...
The GPU acceleration actually makes it worse,,,
I cannot go to the previous version because the catalog was also upgraded. 
If I restart LRc the performance is mildly better but quicly degrades, 
I cannot work like this sadly.  . . . .

Same problem. 10.0 is completely unusable. I get a spinning beach-ball with every click for 5-10 seconds, incredibly laggy.

I had to downgrade back to 9.4.
