lantencies when saving

[Patrick27297560zvw3]

Hi,

Since a couple of days, I’m experiencing significant delays when saving files in Photoshop, and this happens consistently, even across different versions of the software (including older ones). The issue arises specifically when saving a second file after the first one saves normally; the delay is around 20–30 seconds. The save counter stasy stuck on 10% for a while then save instantly.

Additional details:

• I am saving files to a local disk, not a network drive.
• My scratch disk has over 400 GB of free space.
• I have already reset Photoshop preferences, but the problem persists.
• The issue occurs regardless of the complexity of the files or their size.

It seems to be an ongoing issue, even on the latest version of Photoshop running on macOS (M1 Max with 32 GB RAM).

Does anyone else experience the same issue, or better yet, does anyone have a solution?

I cannot think of any "out of the box" solution beyond the obvious and what the help files says about boosting performance in Photoshop.
It may help though:

That said, from experience, I would check if the Ram of your computer is working as it should.

It's been a relatively common occurence in the forums, for similar issues,  that the RAM was faulty, so worth a check (It can't hurt anyway)
Particularly if it's sudden and applies even with older versions.

Hoping someone else can offer more immediate advice.

Good luck!

Hi,
Thank you for your response and the proposed investigative approaches.
In the end, I believe it was more related to my machine's health than an actual problem with Photoshop.
After performing a couple of maintenance processes using both Onyx and CleanMyMac, and restarting, the problem has disappeared.

Glad it's sorted for you!
