My computer is quite old, and it is annoyingly slow for using Lightroom or Photoshop. I'm trying to figure out what is causing it to be slow.
I've tried looking at the Performance tab in Task Manager, or at the Resource Monitor, to figure out what components are being used when the computer is running slow. Often it shows that, even during the moments when the computer really seems to be labouring, CPU utilisation is <50% and memory usage is <75%. Does this mean that a faster CPU or more memory would not help, or are those data wrong or misleading?
Could my drive be causing the bottleneck? I supposed not, because the drive on which my OS, programs, and image and catalogue files are located is a fairly modern SSD: a Sandisk SDSSDP-128G.
