Lightroom 4 - Far too slow!!

I have just spent 4 hours using Lightroom 4 to adjust 600 images for one of my clients. If I had used Lightroom 3 it would have taken half the time.  Sorry to say that in it's present form the software is far too slow to be considered for professional use.  I hope that Adobe fix this before the software is officially launched.

Agreed... LR4b is not as speedy as LR3.  In my own use, thus far, I haven't noticed too many enormous speed deficiencies... but I concur that it is slower overall.
My only point was that, given the assumption that the final release of LR4 will be refined to be mostly comparable in speed to LR3, there's no other wildcards that would affect LR's performance as high-volume post-processing software.  Thus, there's no reason to fear that LR4 would be any less equipped for high-volume work than LR3.  The workflow is still essentially the same... the only variable is the software's processing performance.  If you "personally think that Adobe will fix the speed issue", then there's nothing to be worried about and no necessity to put the beta version through the paces with high-volume processing. 
The whole point of the beta is to allow us to sample the new enhancements and provide feedback, not to put what is arguably "prototype" software into a rigorous production scenario.  It's not refined for that scale of use yet.  If the fundamental workflow of LR4 represented a massive diversion from that of LR3, it would be a different story... but the two versions are fundamentally the same and there's no reason that our workflow would take significantly longer with the final release of LR4.
As far as wanting a "well sorted base software" and foregoing geo-tagging video and what not, I'm not really sure what you mean.  Forego geo-tagging for what?  I don't get it.  But if your only hang-up with LR4b is the performance of the beta version (which is certain to improve by the final release), then it would seem that you like LR4, right?

  • XML Parsing far too slow. (How can I speed it up)

    Hey everyone,
    I am converting a site from ASP to JSP and there are a bunch of pages that parse an XML document display certain information from it. One problem is that the JSP implementation I have is far too slow. It takes ~6 seconds to load the page as we wait for it to process. I am using <x:parse> and <x:forEach> to process it using an XPath statement with the appropriate predicate ($dom/foo/bar/Route[ID > 999] for example)
    One problems I think is the size of the XML document. All the data for different pages is pushed to the same XML file and we use maybe 5-10% of the data in any one parse. I have looked at XML filters a little bit but can't seem to find a good example or a clear explanation as to whether or not this will even solve my problem.
    The root node has 5 children and the biggest one which takes up probably 3/4 of the document isn't even used by us.
    My boss wants it to be as fast as the ASP implementation which was really fast. It is 100% custom and manually probes the XML document and can skip any children which it knows won't contain any leaf's we want (mainly that big one) and is nearly instant.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses and sorry it took so long to get back - I have been busy with school an all.
    Well, first off let me say that everything in general seems far slower than what I would expect. I have eliminated different parts and everything I do eliminate seems to make is significantly faster. Does JSP seems relatively slow to you guys? I am serving it from a slower machine too but it just seems quite a bit slower than I would have expected and I don't feel I'll ever be able to match the speed of the ASP implementation.
    However, I think there is light at the end of the tunnel. I believe I found the slowest part. Surprisingly, it is not the importing or even the parsing of the file. They seem like they could take at the very most 1/2 second and the whole file takes ~5 seconds to run. The part that is causing the most delay is the five x:set tags.
    <x:set var="attrID"  select="string($r/ID)"/>is one of them. If I replace them with a piece of servlet code to assign dummy values instead, it cuts the execution by 80-90%.
    Any ideas why these may be so slow?
    Also, do you think switching to a servlet implementation would be better? I actually use some servlet code that I mean to convert over to tags once I get it working. Shouldn't the tags be about the same speed and are considered the "better" way to do things if possible?
    Thanks again,
    John

  • Lightroom CC is far too slow. What to do other than go back to LR 5

    I've read quite a bit on the net and in these forums. Having un-ticked the CPU acceleration, I still think LR CC is slow and gluggy. Anyone have any suggestions to speed it up?
    I will go back to LR5 until it's better
    Thanks

    I see no point in keeping any backup older than a month.
    If my "working" catalog went bust in Jan 2013, would I want to open a backup of - say - May 2012? What would that help me?
    BTW: The catalog backups done via Lr are not incremental, each backup contains the full catalog, not only recent changes.
    Reminder: you don't have to fall back to the older catalog for *all* things/photos. You can judiciously import from older catalog if need be.
    Put another way: backups are full, but restoral can be "selective".
    Also, don't forget the role of xmp for augmenting a catalog backup - one can get some stuff from an old backup, then overlay recent xmp to restore recent edits. Not only that, but it's also possible to selectively restore some things from xmp, whilst leaving other things - granted it takes a text editor (if sidecar) or exiftool (if embedded) and some know-how.
    No question: you burn less bridges by keeping old catalog backups too, regardless of who you are or what you like. How important that is to you (or whether it's important at all) is a personal thing.

  • Is there any way to turn off recalculation in Numbers? (The program is far too slow!)

    Hi there,
    I'm finding that Numbers is really (really!) bogging down because I have a large number of smaller tables (approx. 20) that I'm trying to link to a main spreadsheet. I've read online that Numbers will slow down because it recalculates all of the data every time you change a cell value. I really need to be able to use the system I've spent tons of time setting up, and the last step is to extract info from the individual data tables and have it display in the main spreadsheet. Can anybody help me figure out how to make this work?! Right now, there's no way I can complete the linking, as there's at least a 3-5 second lag/pause every time I try to enter a new cell value (and often, it's much longer!).
    Thanks so much!

    One very efficient brake of numbers is the use of multiple footer rows. You may be able to obtain a noticeable speed-up with a redesign of your document to eliminate as many footer rows as possible.
    Given my experience, the most efficient brakes are column headers, the infamous columns A, B, C, D and E when they are defined as headers.
    An efficient way to fasten a document is to move tables doing only calculations in a sheet different than the one in which we insert datas.
    Using this tip with scripts, when it may apply, often divide the task duration by ten (yes, by ten).

  • Lenovo g505s wifi far too slow

    I was wondering if i could get some help as i'm going out of my mind with this laptop. Ever since i bought it (over a year ago) i have been struggling with wifi. The inbuilt wifi is about as useful as a wet paper bag, it will disconnect periodically and barely get above 1mb download (i have a 100mb package). I figured i would try it with a USB dongle, but even with that i barely get above 4mb, i can load sites faster on my phone than i can on my laptop. Normally I would take it back and never touch a lenovo again, unfortunatley my waranty period has expired after being unable to use the laptop for nearly a year due to family troubles. With the release of Windows 10 and updates to the wifi I thought i'd give it another chance. Installed Win10 and all new drivers, and once again 1mb with laptop wifi, 4mb with usb dongle. So can anyone please help me with this god awful wifi before i tear my hear out and throw the laptop in the bin? Thanks. Frustrated Robeus.

    No one? I'd sell the laptop but dont know who'd buy it with such a terrible internet. Would really like some help, dont want to have wasted £300.

  • Lightroom 2.4 Is Too Slow To Use As A Professional Product

    Hello -
    I would like to know how to get Lightroom to respond in less than 4-8 seconds for almost any task.
    From returning to Grid mode (4.5 seconds) to adjusting a routine crop and angle (5-7 seconds per move, 60-90 seconds total) to simply shift-selecting three to fifty photos (4-9 seconds) no matter what I do in Lightroom, it is worse that Photoshop 1.0 on a Mac Plus. Really.
    Returning to Lightroom from another app - 7 seconds.
    Getting the menus to drop down - 4 seconds.
    My lightroom settings:
    standard preview size: 1680
    Quality: High
    Discard 1:1: Never
    write changes to XMP: off
    Catalog: 127 mb on F drive (24 gig free)
    Catalog: 13.5k photos, 95 gig on F drive
    Cache: 6 gig on F drive
    NVIDIA settings: performance over quality
    My computer:
    HP 8730 elitebook
    4 gig ram
    XP Pro, SP2
    Proc: Core 2 Duo T9400, 2666 MHz (10 x 267)

    (2x) 250 gig 7200 rmp HD
    Before anyone says to export to a new catalog and re-import, etc, use a smaller catalog, etc, be advised that I have done all of that. I have imported only 250 images to a new catalog, on a newly installed OS, with Lightroom as the ONLY application. Still it acts this sluggish.
    I have scoured the boards for solutions, and having tried all the varied fixes to no avail, I really quite strongly feel that a person should not EVER be in the position or running some of the most powerful available hardware and STILL have to wait interminable seconds for Lightroom to respond.
    This software, as it stands now on the PC platform (unless I am missing something quite obvous) is absolutely unusable in its present state.
    Can someone from Adobe or a board guru please respond in kind to my request for help?

    It really doesn't matter that the drive is 7200 or 10k rpm if ALL items reside on the same drive. The MacPro has four bays. One drive for system and catalog, second for cache, third for photos=FAST.
    Wow, I'm glad you repeated that, and used capitalized text so that I would be sure to understand.
    Clearly, the benchmarks I have off of the various evolutions of my last 3, $10k computers must be in error. (single system disk, RAID-0 system disk, 10k RPM system disk, RAID-0 3x -10K rpm system disks, multiple scratch volumes on different drives, singular scratch volumes on RAIDed drives, tested via benchmark programs and application specific batch tests, etc.etc.)
    More importantly as an issue of forum protocol, you didn't actually read my post.

    I'm throwing 370 mb/sec between two individual sets of 4 drive RAID-0 sets.  Single 7200rpm drives sling about 80 mb/sec.  My drive arrangement isn't the reason Lightroom IS TOO SLOW TO USE AS A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT.

  • Oi vay! a mac thats too slow to use DVDs, quicktime, imovi,

    OI VAY!!I believe I was sold a mac, by a mac expert nonetheless, that is far too slow and lacking in memory to watch videos in any form, dvd, file, with quicktime, etc.
    And it seems too old for the updates available.
    its a iBook G4
    version 10.4.11
    processor: 800 mhz (slow!)
    memory: 640 mhz (low!)
    Can anyone pls confirm or tell me otherwise please!?
    thank u all or any replies most appreciated!

    The computer should be able to play DVDs, if it has the correct Combo optical drive,
    (and not a CD-RW basic drive) and the RAM can be increased to 1.12GB by adding
    a chip under the keyboard in the upgrade slot there.
    All in that series should have been able to play DVD media and record/play CD media.
    You can find more specifications about portable Mac and others by getting the
    Mactracker download from http://mactracker.ca and note the iBook (G4) info.
    According to this ^ database (free download) the RAM max is over 1024MB.
    Early iBook G4 tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP89
    The software updates for Tiger 10.4.11 should appear when you run Software Update
    from the menu which appears when you click on the Blue Apple in left side menubar.
    You could also get the items which appear in there, direct as stand-alone installers
    from Apple Support downloads online (good for later re-installs, if necessary, if saved.)
    Not sure what the problem really is, in regard to the computer. There is a DVD Player
    which should launch automatically on insertion of DVD media; in System Preferences
    you can choose how media discs are handled in the appropriate Preference panel.
    Note, you may have to buy an iLife version suitable for the computer you have, and
    due to technical differences in the older 800MHz iBook G4 vs some latest models,
    the iLife 09 may have specifications unsupported in the hardware of that computer.
    iLife 06 is better suited for older G4 Macs, and that is a retail installer disc. You may
    be able to get one in the second-hand market. Tiger 10.4 retail disc itself does not
    contain an iLife version, as that was a separate disc. Computers that shipped with
    Tiger 10.4.x included extra software and they had an iLife version, plus AppleWorks.
    You can see a DVD without iLife installed, DVD Player should be in Applications folder.
    iLife '09 Support: http://www.apple.com/support/ilife/
    So, perhaps the alleged expert may have omitted something or the other in discussion
    of the computer; ideally, the best iBook G4 would be the last edition 1.33/1.42GHz 12/14".
    Hopefully this helps a bit.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • JMF playback too slow

    Hello, I am wondering if anyone might be able to help me.
    I am developing a J3D world where if u drive into an object using a game pad then a piece of video is played which takes up the whole window and then when it finishes playing the j3D world becomes visbible again.
    My problem is that when you drive into the object and the video is started it plays the .mov files far too slow - i reckon about 1/6th speed with no audio at all.
    I have turned off polling for the JInput side of the game pad behaviour but still the viedo is played at the wrogn speed.
    Has anyone had similar problems of have any ideas which might be able to help me?
    cheers

    Thank you all very much for your very valuable input!
    I indeed found that I did not have libvdpau installed. I now installed the lib and built mplayer-vdpau-svn package. It works like a charm and plays all the videos now, at less than 10% CPU consumption! Without vdpau for decoding, my CPU is still not fast enough.
    So I assume that libvdpau enables to play more formats compared to stock NVIDIA driver (before, I could play some movies like Elephant's Dream, but most only gave error messages). I'm very happy now and proud again of my shiny Thinkpad
    I did the exact same thing yesterday, and finally found out that I had been lacking ``-vo vdpau'' for quite a while. Cheers.

  • I am having trouble with lightroom and photoshop being too slow.

    Currently I am using LR 5.6 64bit andCS5 64 bit. Is the programs are running too slow because I am using 64 bit? If so, how do I get the other versions. I just started having this problem with the new upgrades.
    Please if anyone knows what to do please answer right away. I have jobs that I need to get out.

    Thank you both for replying. My processor is 3.2 Ghz. Ram 8gig 64 bit operating. Size of files are 29.6m
    available Ram is set to 7170 range in MB i have set to 5019. I have the sync set to sync everything.
    When I am importing into lightroom a new scan card, Raw, Canon D 5 Mark II raw. my Lightroom changes to DNG. It can take several minutes to edit. LR will spin quite a while when I try to look at a file in library or develop module after the files have been imported to lightroom. I have my preferences set to hold for 30 days so it should not take so long for files to refocus when I close lightroom and then reopen later. When I bring photo into photoshop, it sometimes it will not open if I have another file open in Photoshop. It takes 30 seconds for a file to open in photoshop from Lightroom.When I zoom in on a photo in LR it takes up to 30 seconds to focus.

  • I use virginmobilebroadband2go on my desktop, ie8 or anything but google so far is too slow. want to change to you guys, but how fast is it and will it work with my bb2go ?

    Virgin Mobile Broadband2go usb, ie anything too slow and lags, found google chrome to be good, but they have gone Government on us!!! So i wonder if Firefox is compatible, slow? will it be as fast as chrome before I install? Any problems with using bitcomet or other torrent search things? Thanks... If not can you or will you suggest a simple browser that wont Big Brother us? (watching!)
    BTW your Thunderbird is awesome..

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • DVD drive spinning far too fast on Equium

    I have a problem with my DVD disc drive spinning far too fast to me. I have Windows XP on my Toshiba Equium laptop.
    I haven't found any way to set CD / DVD spin speed.
    I don't know if there is any, but I have used such feature in an other computer, and I would really much like to slow down the speed.
    The problem with speed is not malfunction.
    I don't face the problem with DVD:s, but the drive is too effective with CD:s, its literally too powerful.
    The speed and noise are insane. If I touch the computer or the table where computer is, the shaking hurts my hands.
    It's like a motor saw, and also sounds a bit loud.
    I can't hear the game I play while CD is spinning.
    I wonder the sturdy construction of my computer, while it's still not broken.

    Hello
    I don't know which notebook model do you have but Toshiba has designed small tool for such purposes. It is acoustic silencer. When you watch DVD movei or when you listen music CD you can switch into silent mode and you will not hear that DVD drive works.
    Visit Toshiba support page and check if this tool is available for your notebook model too.
    Bye

  • Disk is too slow or System Overload.

    I was working on a project that had a little over hundred tracks, and got this error. I thought that it was understandable, as I had many tracks(even though I was only recording one), so I started a new project to record it, with only one track. But I still got this error when I was recording one track, with no other tracks in the project! How can I fix this?
    Here's the complete message:
    Disk is too slow or System Overload.
    (-10008)
    The sudden motion sensor may have parked the hard drive head, or the disk performance is not sufficient to read or write all audio tracks, or the system was not able to process all data in time.
    I run this on a 27" iMac with 8GB ram and 7200rpm, which should be enough to play and record many tracks.

    But you didn't shut down Logic or (sometimes best) restart your machine in between ? Often, data gets left in memory and it hasn't had any particular command to clear it otherwise - a lot of allocated memory can be still considered as 'used'.
    Well, maybe, but that aside,

    - hopefully you're not doing that just using your internal computer's drive - if you have, you've been lucky so far.
    If you're into Logic it is a well established fact that this message can appear for so many different reasons and its not possible for me to know what goes on with your machine - there are plenty of articles on this forum and LogicProHelp as well as the very concise and accurate (but not always as explanatory as I'd like it to be) stuff on this Apple website.
    That's all I can offer at the moment until we have some more technical information, in which case there are others here that may have particular insights as well, so you're gonna have to take it from there because there is no one answer.

  • Disk is too slow (Record)(-10004) error..so sick of this.

    Hello all,
    I can no longer record more than three tracks in logic without getting the error message "Disk is too slow (Record)(-10004)". When this happens, recording is stopped.
    At first I suspected my drive was faulty, maybe slowing down. So being in the middle of a session that took me 2 hours to set up, I called for a break and rushed off and bought an external Seagate 7200rpm firewire 800 drive. I installed it and set it as the recording path for the project. There was no change, the same error occured.
    I then switched the target drive to another internal one I use for Time Machine - same problem occured.
    It seems to me that this problem has nothing to do with my drives. I am at a loss to explain it. I have looked for hours online for a solution but while many have experienced this there seem to be few answers out there.
    Unless I find a solution this will be my last project with Logic. I tried and tried for the last 5 years to use this program but things like this keep happening. It's glitchy with UAD cards, Duende, RME interfaces, Midi controllers, Hard Drives, RAM and external clocks. I've had problems with them all over the years. I will most likely switch to Cubase which I feel is inferior for editing and loops, but at least it seems to be stable.
    If anyone has any insight I'll try and fix it, but I just can't keep shelling out money for a program that just doesn't work.

    I am experiencing a similar problem & have been receiving the same messages, even while recording as little as one track and playback has become an issue as well. However, THIS WAS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. I have heard of people with this same problem, where they receive this message out of nowhere after logic has been working perfectly for them.
    I also would like to note that I am running all settings in logic for optimized recording and playback (audio & buffer settings etc etc etc)
    THIS IS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE, at least in my situation as I am running a fast internal HD & have ample memory. Please reach out if you feel like you have a pragmatic solution to this issue.
    This may be a possible lead on the fix... I remember reading this post from a user "soundsgood" in 2008 who was having a similar issue..I don't understand completely his solution, but if someone could enlighten me, I feel that this might be the solution to our issue
    +"Okay - forgive me 'cause I'm a newbie on this forum and if somebody else has already figgered this out, I'm sorry.... I've been having the same problem all of the sudden after many years of crash-free and error-free recording. I've read everything. I've pulled my hair out. I've done dozens of clean installs. I've repaired permissions so many times I can do it blindfolded. And sitting here tonight, it dawned on me.... there are TWO places Logic is sucking data from: wherever you've got your SONG files stashed, of course.... but it ALSO NEEDS TO ACCESS THE STARTUP DRIVE (or wherever else you might have your Apple Loops installed). I was watching my drives being accessed during a playback of a fairly complicated tune (most tracks were frozen of course), and both of the afore-mentioned drives were going berserck with accesses. We're all focusing on our dedicated audio drives, but forgetting about our boot drives (where Logic usually resides along with most or all of our loops). I carbon copy cloned my boot / operating system (including Logic) to a different (in my case, an external firewire) drive and the problem disappeared. Could've been because the cloning process de-fragged all the loops & stuff, or maybe my OS just likes snatching its sample/loop info from an external drive. Worked for me... so far....... let me know if it works for others....."+
