LR 1.1 Speed - Looks like new database may be the answer

I run LR on a PC - XPPro SP2, 3ghz dual core CPU, 4GB fast Ram, Matrox PCIe video card, 4 fast hard disks. Everything optimized as per Adobe and everything I can find here and elsewhere on LR related sites.
LR 1.0 ran way too slow for me with only 11K images in my database. Great program but sluggish performance is simply not something I can put up with long term.
Installed 1.1 last night and converted my old library. All went well but LR 1.1's speed performance was no better, maybe worse than 1.0. Somebody here, I can't find the post, suggested importing your images into a new 1.1 catalog instead of converting your old library.
I just tried it. Imported about 1,100 images into a new catalog as a test - mixed Canon RAW, DNG, and JPEG images. I rendered standard size previews (1680) during the import.
Wow! LR 1.1 became a totally different animal. I can now scroll through my thumbnails and standard size previews at a reasonable speed and actually enjoy looking at my pictures instead of staring at those massively annoying 3 white dots or the Loading warning. No white dots no matter how fast I scroll or page down in the grid view!! I can also scroll through my standard size previews without the Loading warning appearing as long as I go at a reasonable pace. But even if I push it, the Loading warning only appears briefly and the preview is fine, not degraded at all. Even 1:1 previews (which I did not pre-render) come up reasonably fast. This is a radical, massive improvement in speed, at least 10X better than 1.0 and 1.1 using my converted 1.0 library.
Remember I only have 1,100 images in my test catalog so I don't know how it will handle a bigger database but if you are craving better performance, you might try creating a new catalog and test it out. I am going to import another 10K images tonight and also render 1:1 previews and see how it works.

Ok,
I do, and I really like the concept of LR, so i definitely want to use it, preferably with the full catalog, which is only 5000 photo's.
Do you have all 1:1 previews generated?
i just tried again, with standard previews generated, and 1:1 previews not generated performance is ok, faster then LR 1, with 1:1 previews generated the loading takes about one minute when i open a photo in library view (in develop it;s supposed to allways generate one, so that is normal)

  • New Firmware MAY BE THE ANSWER!!!

    Before this new beta firmware for the zen micro, when i turn my zen micro off, the dri've was still running. But when i downloaded this new one, the noise stopped, THE HARD DRIVE STOPPED RUNNING, AND my battery life is longer. I think creative did it this time!!!

    orumov8888,
    The latest version available now is .20.08. If your not having any problem with the player and are not in need for the Audible audio support then it's not necessary to update though.

  • Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
    The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
    both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
    The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
    Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
    both have 802ac wifi
    both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
    both are slim profiles and SSD
    The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
    ....and of course the retina display
    both are now "very good for travel"
    Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
    You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc.   Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
    The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
    The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
    Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display” 
    Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
    Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little,  the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
    As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
    there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
    http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
    A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
    what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD  are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
    "The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

  • My iMac 20 inch 2.4 has developed a very annoying flicker. It looks like somebody is messing with the brightness but than really quick. Any ideas on how to solve this problem ?

    My almost four year old iMac 20 inch 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo has recently been giving me a headache. The screen is flickering a lot. It looks like somebody is messing with the screen brightness at a really fast rate. I have no idea what it could be but have tried to recalibrate the screen, stopped certain dashboard apps, even changed the desktop picture and screensaver. Has anybody else had the same problem or could somebody help me in getting rid of this flicker. It feels like it is a software issue as it happens intermittently rather than continuous.
    Pleas help me !

  • It looks like your problem is at the beggining in the form tag, specificall

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with a cgi form that I created (added on to a website I created using iWeb). Basically, here's the problem: I'm not sure if I have to FTP it over to mac in order for it to work, but if someone could let me know if that's the issue, I'd appreciate it. Basically, when any client hits the submit button on my site to fill out a quote request, it DOES NOT go into my inbox. Why?
    Here's the html code:
    http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/FormNewMail.cgi
    Below is a comment I received from someone who thought they knew where the problem was.
    "It looks like your problem is at the beginning in the form tag, specifically
    this part:
    action="http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/FormNewMail.cgi"
    When I type in that address, the correct page isn't loading, which probably
    means you haven't uploaded the actual "FormNewMail" script to your cgi-bin
    folder (at Webintellects).
    Anyone care to tackle this one?
    Thx,
    J

    What exactly does iWeb support as far as html forms then?
    Search this forum for "form".

  • HT1527 I have windows 7 and have tried the troubleshooting steps but am still unable to connect to the itunes store yet my PC is connected to the internet, it just keeps looking like its trying to access the store

    I have windows 7 and have tried the troubleshooting steps but am still unable to connect to the itunes store yet my PC is connected to the internet, it just keeps looking like its trying to access the store

    I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
    I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
    I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help!

  • Certain web sites suddeenly look like text instead of all the usual graphics, why has this suddenly happened

    Several newspaper websites now download without the usual graphics and just text and also without some pictures, other sites are ok, and all sites are fine in Explorer. I have downloaded an update to Firefox but this has not solved the problem. I didn't make any changes that caused this problem. Note I tried to update my graphics driver but the last version I could find was 10.2 not 10.6 - see troubleshooting info.

    Did you install some readability extension such as "Readability" or "Evernote Clearly" the point of them to remove unimportant columns to the left and right on blogs and just have the essential in a simpler format that is larger and easier to read -- most pictures would be removed along with advertising.
    I didn't realize that I'd be able to see your extensions, and I don't see anything that looks like that among yours. The closest is the Browser Highlighter but that is disabled. You do have Skype which is listed as a [http://example.com problematic extension] and is reported to mess up rich text formatting and drop pictures.

    when i open .jpg picture in photoshop on MAC the the background thumbnail in the layers panel looks like a white box with the brush inside instead of picture thumbnail. how to fix it?

    Very easy. That means you have a "no layer thumbnails" option selected.
    Go into the Layers Panel menu at the upper right of the Panel, choose Panel Options and you will see Thumbnail sizes to choose from.
    Select one, click OK.

  • My 27" iMac has just creen issue repaired. I restored from my time machine and now the white screen is back and I am unable to access an recovery option. It looks like its no responding to the USB keyboard

    My 27" iMac has just come back from the workshop after having a white screen issue repaired. I restored from my time machine and now the white screen is back and I am unable to access an recovery option. It looks like its no responding to the USB ke

    Thanks for your reply! I must apologise for the quality of my post. I inadvertently posted it before it was corrected.
    I am very disappointed with this iMac. It is only 18 months old and this will be the third visit to the workshop. I had expected more from Apple and from their repair agents. Luckily I have AppleCare.

  • I lost the + and x on my tabs and now i have what looks like a clear box after the tab

    i have lost the + and x at the back of the tabs and now i have what looks like a clear box behind the tab but its only 1/8" thick and is as tall as the tab box itself

    If you have Tab Mix Plus then check its option to see if those buttons are still selected.

  • Why do things print really small from my iPad (it looks like a mini version of the page I am printing), but from my iPhone they print perfectly?

    When I print from my iPad the page comes out of the printer with what looks like a miniature version of the page that I printed.  But when I print from my iPhone it prints perfectly.  Does anyone know why or how I can change my iPad setting so that it prints things full scale?

    Eminently possible in Pages. Get a template (or employ the one used with MS Word) and look up Merge Fields in the Pages user guide.

  • Firefox will not display (It will not "open", although it looks like it's open in the taskbar)

    I'm not sure if it's coincidence that it updated itself to 37.0, but it must be...
    When I click on Firefox both on Taskbar and on Desktop icon, it opens on the task bar, when I highlight the task bar it even shows that Firefox loaded Google (my default webpage)... But it never come up on screen.
    I have:
    - Windows 8.0 (not 8.1 and I do not intend on upgrading since it functions better than 8.1)
    - Noscript add-on/plugin, possibly more
    - up-to-date drivers
    I have tried:
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling newest version (37.0)
    - Uninstalling 37.0 and Installing from Firefox website archive 36.0
    - Restarted my computer after installs
    - disabling maintenance service on install
    I have "allow"-ed the install windows popup both times and it doesn't help.
    The first time it tries to open it does go to the yellow background on taskbar of opened programs you haven't used yet...
    However, when I click on it nothing comes on screen. When I highlight it still shows my homepage there. I cannot do the firefox refresh thing because I can't get it to even display. I do NOT get any error messages on my computer, which is more bizarre. I've updated and ran windows defender complete scan and found nothing (but that's not surprising for "defender", lol).
    Once it opens the first time, even opening another page opens nothing. Then it freezes and won't close, even if you right click and try to close all windows... I have to use Task Manager to close it by End task...
    I don't know how to open the troubleshooter "xpi" thing, sorry....
    And not to whine, but why is it so broken all of a sudden XD... And more importantly, how in the world can I get it back working??? I'm using this terrible chrome I was lucky enough to just have on my computer already, which I only had for viewing one single thing a long time ago and forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate using chrome, it's actually working flawlessly for me right now... So please any help will be much appreciated...

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
