I am still thinking shall I upgrade to LR6 or not as I am happy with LR5.7 ;
but the new functions are very interesting which make me thinking very
hard.....USD150 is big deal for me....@@

{}#yiv2199441140 I changed nothing, so the speed difference is totally due to
version 6 vs 5. So, I guess the promised speed increase does not happen on all
computers. I hope I see a different story on my desktop at home when we get
there in a few weeks. It is an i7, 16GB RAM, 7200 RPM drive and a GPU. Aram

Subject: [LRflex] Re: Lightroom 6 speed issue? Just before LR cc came out, I
changed out my hard drive on my Vaio ultrabook to a Samsung SSD. It already
had 8 gigs of ram and an i7 processor. Lightroom flies on that setup, and it
does pretty good on my work computer, similarly equipped, but with a pair of 1
gig normal drives. I upgraded my old Lenovo to an SSD too, and it improved LR
as well, when I went to CC, that machine sped up considerably. I'd be
interested to know if LR 6 is different speed wise from LR CC on the same
computer. I suspect it might be, as I had LR 5.(last upgrade)

I can't speak specifically to this version, but 4gig and no gpu and a laptop
hard drive really might be source of all the problems. I'm not an expert in
these matters but I would first look to laptop having 4gig ram, or the graphics
system possibly using chunk of your 4gigs, or the size of lightroom possibly
crowding the os and causing a lotta extra drive accesses. My working theory
would be you've got all of that going on with *bonus* lightroom attempting to
access the images on the drive at same time os is trying to swap virtual memory
stuff and the energy efficient (read slow) hard drive is bogging down.Like with
all theories I'll unhesitatingly toss it all aside in face of hard data,
experience, or expertize, but I think I'm on the right trail.Richard

I upgraded to 6 the first day, but have not had time to use it much as that was
the day before we left on our trip home. We are about half way there
(Monterey, CA) and we have internet in our campground and power, so I have been
playing around. It is very slow compared with 5. Especially slow booting and
slow switching from library to develop. And it takes longer to import and
change from NEF to DNG. It use to do that in one process, but now it takes
two. Loads all the NEF files then does the conversion. Maybe there is a way
around that. I am on my traveling HP laptop, an I-5 second generation, with
4 GB of RAM and most of my hard drive empty. No GPU. I sure hope it is better
on my desktop when I finally get home. Just wondering if anyone else has seen
any speed differences. I know they said it was supposed to be noticeably
faster since it was all new 64 bit code. So far not impressed, at least about
that. I have played around with a few new features that will allow me to not
go to Photoshop as often. I like that idea. I use PS less and less and LR has
added more and more features since version 1. Aram Aram Langhans(Semi) Retired
