Since updating to LR v13 on my M1 max Mac Studio (Sonoma 14.1.2), basic operations such as changing Color Labels and Stacking have become very slow/laggy and there is a great deal of disk activity occurring a lot of the time.
I have not changed the configuration at all (Catalog on internal SSD and image files on external hard drive) and I have plenty of free space on the relevant disks.
The latest 13.0.2 has not improved the situation.
What has happened and is there a fix?

Is this catalog on your main hard drive or a separate one? Perhaps an external one? If on the main drive, do you have a external one to move the catalog to, and then see if all that hard drive activity continues.

Thanks for the helpful hints and advice.
Although I don't understand why, it appears that having "Automatically write changes into XMP" was the culprit - by unchecking this, the performance has improved significantly.....
