Develop module in the 15.0 is painfully slow. I had to rall back to 14.5.1 Going from photo to photo may take 2-3 seconds. I tried all kinds of methods to fix the performance (creating a new catalog, renuilding new previews, trying different GPU options) still very sticky and painful Working on an individual photo is ok but going quickly is impossible. 

The older version 14.5.1 just flies through files. Too bad
