Lightroom kills my system
had been having sorts of problems macpro 3.1 (dual 2.8, 6 gb ram, dual screens, tons of free hd space, os 10.8.4). when lr4 running slow crawl. after shutdowning lr4 system remain slow , erratic until did reboot. if didn't open lr4 ran did. if opened , closed lr4 without doing eles, ms word take 45 secs open rather 3 or 4 secs. chrome behave poorly in terms of speed.
after months of testing, checking, , weaking, obvious became obvious... lr4 problem. hardwarewise, checks out.
i downloaded 30 day demo of lr5 , started new catalog using images shot during trail period. happy camper. ran perfectly. lr fast , there no impact on other programs. hurray!
then bought program , inserted serial number. still seemed fine.
i imported whole lr4 catalog (170,000 images) , instantly turned crap again. same type of performance problems, seems worse lr4. when working in ps, clicked on lr5 watched free memory go down 9mb on activity monitor. quit lr5 , took on 1.5 minutes quit.
logic set #1:
1. system works fine without lr being opened.
2. system goes crap when lr opened.
logical conclusion: problem lightroom , catalog and/or how being handled.
any suggestions appreciated, henry
if you've tried integrity check , optimization, try exporting it.
if still wonky, try exporting half of it...
