Throw cores at that particular problem all you want. Throw 64GB RAM at it, and GPU acceleration. Won't help, since that issue is very likely I/O bottlenecked. So it's unfair to blame Lightroom here.
My photos sit on a 5400 RPM, no SSD cache NAS behind 1G LAN. That is incredibly slow compared to local HDD or even SSD. I don't blame Lightroom here. In fact, the software only takes its time when operating on large volumes on that slow connection. CPU-bound tasks have been just fine for me (16k photos catalogue, i7 mobile CPU, 16GB RAM).

- ancientworldnow 6y agoI have the same issues as the parent comment (maybe not quite as bad) despite also having a threadripper, 2080ti, 64GB of ram, and my photos living on a 10GbE connected NAS that's gets 1000+ MB/s. Similar issues when I move things into my pcie SSD I use for caching and temp storage. I work with 8k raw video frequently for my day job and lightroom is by far the slowest app on my system my orders of magnitude.
- cm2187 6y agoNot saying that it is the problem here but often IOPS are the bottleneck. Your NAS may read 1GB/s sequentially but if it filled with HDD in RAID it will likely have terrible IOPS. And if you are accessing many pictures all over the platter that may be a problem.
- corty 6y agodarktable is magnitudes faster than lightroom on the same hardware and data. (maybe except for a few filters)
