I'm on the last standalone version of Lightroom (6.1) and it's frustratingly slow. I definitely don't want to get sucked into the Adobe subscription model as I've already paid for the software and just want to use it.
It seems to take much longer to switch to developer mode, render images, switch back to grid mode, and generally do anything. For example, it takes 8-10 seconds to go from Grid mode to Develop mode for an image (by pressing "D" key. I've done all the usual tricks (I've been using Lightroom since v1.0) including optimising the catalog, slimming the live catalog down (I religiously export old pics to annual catalogs every year) etc. My currently open catalog is about 5000 images.
My PC spec is pretty good - I'm running Windows 10 64 bit, processor is i7 920 at 2.67GHz, with 20GB RAM. The OS drive is a Samsung SSD and the main storage drive is a hybrid 2gb SSD/HDD, and twin Dell Ultrasync 4K monitors with a Geforce GTX660 graphics card, so pretty much everything flies including 4k gaming, except Lightroom.
Any clues? What else can I try?
