***when I say load, I am talking the time it takes to hit the right arrow, the picture comes up instantly, but the image is taking about 4 seconds to hit that sharp level while displaying "loading" at the bottom***
Okay, I know Lr is a meme with how slow it is, but this is something different entirely. I would call myself an advanced Lr user with advanced computer knowledge. My setup:
I import photos to a raid array of HDDs, but I place my catalogue AND 1:1 previews on a striped volume on two SSDs. On top of that, I have a 10GB raw image buffer on this SSD array as well. The drives are wicked fast, period.
I also have 32GB of ram and a GTX980 super clocked that is activated in Lr.
When I import it takes FOREVER, but this is normal and I am fine with it.
Now I am in library. Everything is imported, and I should just be looking at my 1:1 previews on my raid 0 SSD array that is wicked fast, but literally each photo is taking 4+ seconds to load. It used to be as soon as I would hit the next pic, instant preview (that is the only reason to generate 1:1's, if it is not educate me). This has been happening for months now. It is so slow reaching that 1:1 preview/sharpness. My CPU not being loaded at all, the RAM never exceeds 10GB and my SSDs are moving at light speed. I cannot find the bottleneck.
It is nothing for me to go take 2000+ images in one day, and now it is taking me literally 4 times as long to cull for sharpness. Anyone know what I can try next?
I am only talking about Library module, not dev. I know dev pulls the full image from storage and does not use the 1:1. This should be slow and I understand why.
I am a CC user, with auto updates, so I am fully updated with the latest version on Lr CC 100%.
Thank you so much for your time!
