I have a self-built desktop system with the following spec:I am still open to he idea it's something to do with my PC and I can get it to run better.
Can I ask about the specification of your machine and what type & resolution of files your editing? Hopefully it may highlight something that makes the experience better for you compared to me.

One thing I find vital, and that is to keep your graphics driver software up to date.
Recently AMD seem to introduce driver updates almost weekly, the most recent of which was yesterday.
I'm just wondering if the clue here is the Windows operating system.
I may be a dinosaur but I'm used to Windows 7 and it appears that most people who are experiencing problems are on Win 10.
I'm quite happy to continue with Win 7 for as long as it will run.
I know that MS are withdrawing support from next year, but that doesn't mean it will stop working.
I have received several Windows 7 updates in the last couple of weeks, so it ain't dead yet.
My raw files are from a variety of cameras, my main system is Canon and my 5D4 raw files are around 30MB in size, and I'm also using raws from 6D2 and 80D.
I also have Sony A6000, RX100 and Olympus Pen 20 Mp raws.
Everything performs similarly in terms of speed and performance.
I normally use the default "On1 Standard" camera profile as a starting point when processing and the first step in my workflow is cropping the image.
One thing I do not use is the On1 file downloader, which does not suit my filing system.
Instead I normally use "drag and drop" from my card reader to organise my files into my preferred arrangement.
Not that the latter are going to affect the performance of the editor.
All I can say is that I'm completely happy to use On1 as my main raw processor, and I've actually deleted Lightroom from my system, since I have not used it in over a year.
