Lightroom is getting worse with each update

I used to love Lightroom. I thought it was the best bargain with the Creative Cloud subsscription along with Photoshop.

Currently using Lightroom Classic 9.2.1 on my I7-4770 with 32 gbs of DDR 3 memory, Nvidia GTX 1060 6 gb video card running Windows 10 Home 64 bit. Most of my other apps zip along Photoshop CC, Corel Painter 2019 and my 3D modeling apps (3D Coat, Blender 3D 2.8, Silo 3d 2.5, DAZ Studio, Poser Pro 11.3, Vue Creator 3D, etc).

BUT Lightroom is a complete dog and really slows down my photo editing workflow.

The issue most of the time is it's doing database stuff and not allowing me to edit my raw files. It's either sychronizing a folder or the metadata. Both DAZ Studio and Poser Pro have large databases of 3D content. Both are not slowing down at all. They still zip right along. I know it's not my computer. I was a computer support tech for 35 years and recently retired 2 years ago.

It's driving me completely nuts and what took little time to edit a raw file now can take several minutes. And can often freeze Lightroom only but not my computer or Widows10..

I have a large catalog of 150,000 images AND PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST I DIVIDE MY CALALOG INTO SMALLER ONES. Please do not suggest this. Not interested in doing this. I have all of my photos into various catalogs that make sense to me. AND IF Lightroom can not handle a catalog of this size, then I'm gonna give some strong thought to jumping ship.

I've also seen on the web some other people are having this issue with the terrible performance of Lightroom due it's database handling. And some of them have found some competing products that do not have this issue.

My question to Adobe: Is this issue being looked into? Will it be fixed soon? I have no issues with Adobe, it's pricing or it's products. BUT Lightroom has been getting worse and slower with every update IMHO. Others may disagree.

I am quite pleased to report since the latest update to Lightroom Classic 9.3 it has been very stable. Since the update over a week or so ago, I have not experienced any freezing or hanging. Much appreciated Adobe.

Cheers

Ken

Lightroom Classic can handle a catalog of millions of images, and it does not do things like synchronizing folders or metadata all by its own. That is simply not how the application works. If Lightroom Classic is doing things in the background that slow down your editing, then you'll have to do some tests to find out what that is. As a computer tech with 35 years of experience you should be able to pinpoint this.

By the way: This is a user-to-user forum. For bug reports, go to https://feedback.photoshop.com. Search for your problem first. If it is already requested by someone else, then don't create a new thread but add your vote to the existing request. I know there are more people complaining about slow performance, so you may even find some answers there already.

Yes. I did try to diagnoze my issue for quite some time before posting here. I have myLightroom catalog & temp files directed to a 500 GB Intel SSD. My OS & apps are installed on a 1 TB Samsung SSD.

I did build a Ryzen 7 3700x with 32 gb of DDR4 memory. I need to purchase a video card for it. Presently it is using an older Nvidia GTX 750 with 4 gb of ram but it is only a 128 bit card. I could move the GTX 1060 6GB 192 bit card to the Ryzen from my I7-4770 BUT I would prefer to buy a newer card. Not sure which Nvidia card. My 3D apps prefer Nvidia's CUDA over ATI\AMD cards.
