Export delayed by several minutes (v14.0.1)

[DannyPaynePhoto]

When exporting files, the export process seems to take a long time - sometimes up to 10 minutes - to actually start exporting.

I've found Lightroom in general to be running really slowly since the upgrade, so don't know if this is part of a wider performance issue.

That's definitely not normal behavior. It's hard to tell what might be wrong though from your description. Try with a fresh catalog whether you also get a delay.

Is there a way to start a new catalogue whilst keeping all my export/processing/publishing settings?

[Jao vdL]

Yes just create a new catalog. Your old catalog will retain all that.

Sorry - I meant keep all my settings from my old catalog in the new one

It's just for testing. You can delete it afterwards.
