Lightroom workflow slows down after modifying an image

Hi fellow users,
Lightroom 4.3 runs smoothly if I work on unmodified images.
However, if I apply modifications on an image, retouching it afterwards becomes much slower, even if I render a preview AFTER I made modifications on the image.
I tell you an example: I import a raw file to the program and I render it`s preview. Then I retouch the image - it works very fast, no waiting time, no Loading overlay.
Where the problem starts: I import a raw file, I apply some modifications on it (for example a preset), then I render it`s preview - then I want to do more modifications on the image, which becomes very slow.
I was monitoring the cpu usage of the computer. In the first case, the cpu usage during modifying the image is normal.
In the second case, it goes up to 100%.
It seems that applying modifications on an image makes working on it slow, no matter if you have the most up-to-date preview or not.
Anyone knows if it is normal or not?
Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Tamas
My configuration:
Windows 7 64 bit (up to date)
Lightroom 4.3 64 bit
Fast PC
lightroom settings:
camera raw cache: 20gb
video cache: 10gb

First of all, you can forget about the preview rendering, that's irrelevant. Previews are only used by the Library module, not the Develop module. In Develop, it's handled by the ACR cache.
Now, as for slowing down after initial adjustments, that's a variable I haven't looked out for. But it could well be correct (it would explain some weird results I got across two machines recently).
In general, Lightroom 4 performs well below expected standards on some systems, while others fly along, and it seems nobody can explain why. Long story, do a search on this forum and you'll come up with several lengthy threads. The problem is that there are so many variables in this that it's almost impossible to even define what "slow" means. And now you've added another (interesting) one...

Lightroom 4 (and update) slow down after editing 2 images

Imported 74 Nikon RAW images (from D300) into Lightroom 4 (also tried with RC-1) on 2.8ghz Intel iMac with 4gb memory, approx 180GB free on 320GB HD.
After using the brush on 2nd image the program slows to a crawl. It takes a minute or more to load the next image, a dozen or more seconds for Brush to be ready to use. Running OS-X Lion. Getting spinning wheel constantly, and it gets slower after 2nd image. I'm forced to close the program, wait a bit and restart so I can edit another photo in any reasonable time. Also, if I wait in Lightoom, doing nothing for a minute or more, things will speed up again for another 1 or 2 images (if I'm lucky). All software and OS is up to date. No other programs running.
Memory leak or garbage collection problems?
Same thing happens on my Windows 7 laptop using a new Crucial 120gb SSD.
Someone else is editing the same images on their 4 year old PC using Lightroom 3.6 and everything is fine. I'm switching back to see if it helps. Will post here with results.

I can confirm the issue. Using some function (I noticed it on noise reduction too) causes a tremendous slowdown.
I'm using a i72630QM with 8gb ram. It's fast enough to handle that stuff, at least it was on LR3.
Edit: just to clarify what I mean with "slowdown": the program is barely reacting anymore, takes several seconds to come back from minimize, pretty much feels like crashing nonstop.
I can say 99,99% certainty that its not hardware related.

System Slow-Down After Printing

I recently installed Mountain Lion. Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed a significant operating system (10.8.2) slow down after printing with my Epson R3000 printer. This happens after every printing session. When I say slow-down I mean significant delays and dreading "beachballs" when opening applications, selecting menu items or anything else I should choose to do. I'm left with re-starting the computer to get going normally again.After re-atarting I have gone to "verify permissions" and I get approx "5" pages of permission errors, all associated with the printer library in some fashion or another. I then repair all those permissions and re-start my MacPro. The operating system then works as normal and I can use the computer with no problems (until I start printing again). I mainly use the computer for photo editing with Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Lightroom 4 and Aperture 3.2.
I did not have this problem before upgrading to Mountain Lion (and then to 10.8.2). I did not get "significant" permission errors before upgrading. Since all printer drivers for this printer are handled now by Apple via the "new" Software Update process I can't even re-download the Epson printer driver and start over. I'm completely at a loss as to what, associated with the printer function, is causing these "significant" permission errors and subsequent operating system slow down. My printer is almost brand new and was working flawlessly before Mountain Lion. Let me be clear though, I can print fine. My problem is the system slow down after using the print function which I am only guessing has something to do with the "5" pages of permission errors after printting photos (with CS6/Lightroom/Aperture).
Incidently, I am not in any way a computer expert. Verifying and repairing permissions is about all I know how to do that's why I need help. I also just thought I would try the forums first before going to technical support to see what people thought about this.
Again, I repair the permission errors, re-start my system and all is fine. Any further suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Slow down after installing Lion OS

My Macbook pro later than 2009 model slowed down after installing the new OS Lion
any suggestions to speed it up

First suggestion ,there have been a number of identical user questions like yours, in the Lion Community. If you want to talk to other MacBook Pro owners, try the forum they have.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
What you do not need is some gizmo to "speed up" or clean caches etc.
Maybe you need to make more room on your hard drive, or add more RAM.
For now, hold down Command-R and run Disk Utility to check the health of your system drive (Lion Recovery Mode)

Compleat system slow down after current updates

Has anyone learned why we all seem to have a compleat system slow down after the current set of updates? Everything works, but is VERY slow to respond. Even iTunes 7.1.1 plays video choppy now. Audio track plays fine however. Odd.
-Apple //GS

First of all, try repairing your permissions with Applications> Utilities> Disk Utility. Select the hard drive you're running off of and then click the Repair Permissions button.
If that doesn't work I'd do an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Then run the combo update(s) instead of the consecutive ones. That seems to be working for a lot of people, but it will probably take a while.

System slow down after lion update 8/18/11

Has anyone else had a problem with their system slowing down after downloading the system update for Lion on 8/18? My system is not nearly as responsive and is only about two weeks old and have not installed any software other than Microsoft Office 2011 when I bought the machine. Any ideas?

Ok my system is booting and shutting down faster now.. This method worked for me:
First, I repaired the permissions:
1) Open up Disk Utility
2) Select your hard drive
3) Now select Repair Disk Permissions.
Then, I deleted the caches folder:
1) From the Finder's Go menu, select Go To Folder, and go to this folder: /Library
2) Delete everything inside the Caches folder (This might require the Admin Username & Password)
Finally, go to System Preferences and click on Startup Disc then click on your boot drive (In my case I've selected my HD labeled "Macintosh HD Mac OS X, 10.7.1". Now do a restart by clicking on the Restart button. If you don't have a Startup drive selected your mac will waste time at boot searching for a suitable boot drive !
I Hope this works for you as well.
Cheers!

System slow down after upgrade to 10.10.2

Still have a slow down after updating to 10.10.2
Tried everything I can think of.
Get spinning color wheel for a long time when opening even small files. Scrolling through folders, cursor hangs for a moment. opening and saving takes much longer.
Used HD repair and repaired permissions and diagnosed HD. No problems.
Looking at Activity Monitor, I don't see anything that stand out-
-C

Windows 8.1 gradually slows down after hours. Speed returns normal if restart "explorer.exe".

I have Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) installed on Alienware M17x. The slowdown mostly appears as slow response in the situation such as open a folder/window, open/close/switch tabs in IE, drag window, and there's also cursor lag. It gradually
slows down after system boot, noticeable after 3-4 hours, really slow after 8-9 hours.
I have thought about many possible processes which can cause this issue, and then I found out that it's caused by "explorer.exe". If I kill "explorer.exe", the speed suddenly becomes normal. Then, I restart explorer.exe
again, it stays normal, and then it still gradually slows down again after hours.
I have checked driver or software compatibility. Also, CPU usage and Disk usage is normal.
Please give some advises, reasoning, or solutions.

SaccoSVD
The process that is causing the problem is called sidebar.exe and I am curious why it is running on a win 8 machine as I dont believe it is built in. (It seems to have over 22,000 instances launched so I suspect either malware or a broken app)
It is usually associated with a Vista machine, or updated win 7 machine. Did you do do a clean install? Have you run a malwarebytes scan?
Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
Update it immediately.
Do a full system scan
Let us know the results at the end.

Why do my loops slow down after many iterations

My Vi seems to freeze up or slow down after several iterations of the loop. This is an Analog Input Capture VI.

Final_Main_VI_with_working_amp.vi ‏456 KB

First of all, thank you for your contribution. You are right to say that I have no need in changing the AI Config every time that the loop runs. But as this is supposed to be a soft-scope, I need to be able to update the parameters associated with AI Start while the loop is running (e.g. trigger level).
I have tried to move the AI Config subVI out of both loops but the error as a result is: "No transfer in progress for the specified source."
I also need a sampling rate of exactly 96kHz. I realize that the laptop clock cannot attain this value. Do you know how I could get exactly 96kHz.

AME CS4 Batch - Slow Down After First File

I've been using AME to batch timelines from various different Premiere Pro projects. Problem is the first one in the batch will take the normal amount of time around 2 hours. Then everyone in the batch after that takes 5 hours.
If I stop the encode once it gets to the second file and slows. And then restart the program and put that one as first it renders in a fraction of the time....
Why does AME drastically slow down after the first file in the queue?

Where do you close the ResultSet?
Where do you close the Statement?
Presumably you only create one connection for all users or you close it somewhere.

Macbook WI-FI Slow down after Screensaver kicks in

I just got this new macbook a few days ago. Everything is been working great except for this problem. I am experiencing an internet slow down after the screensaver Flurry kicks in. as long as the screen saver doesnt kick in, the internet still works fine.
Does anyone has a solution to it or experienced something similar to my problem?
Any help is appreciated. thanks in advance.

I encounter a similar problem using my girlfriends new Macbook (Intel Core 2 duo). Out of the box, i remember it working well and it was fast on my network using a Linksys WRT54G router (firmware v8.00.2). However, over the course of a few days, WiFi speeds deteriorated quickly.
This solution worked for me:
-Set the router to channel 3, 6 or 11
-Enable WEP encryption (mine is set to WEP 128bit)
-When entering the Key (key 1) into Airport prefix it with a *"$"* ie. "*$19C7B8C383489.....*" would be your key.
This is prior to adjusting settings on the router.

Why does my data logging program slow down after a while?

A data logging program created with Labview 5.1. Slows down after a few weeks and creates files in the Temp. directory.Computer is Siemens Scenic pro 124 MB ram and AT-MIO-16XE50 Data acquisition board. Also using Solartron Dig. probes and Fieldpoint units.

Any chance that you are using Win 95/88/ME? Those OS's have well documented
memory leaks which will consume all your available memory if an application
is run long enough. Also there are some issues of memory management within
LabView in the allocation of memory.
The solution to the first is to switch to WinNT/2K. The second will be much
more difficult.
