Performance gets worse with more adjustments

LR 3.5, Win7, 64-bit (both OS & LR - and yes, I made sure it is the 64-bit LR running), 8GB ram
When I start doing adjustments to a photo it's really fast, no problems. But the more adjustments I add (mainly adjustment brush), the slower LR gets, the worse performance gets.  It gets so bad that making a change to a slider can take 6+ seconds to see the change!
I'm making slider adjustments, using the adjustment brush a lot, and graduated filter adjustments.  I have auto mask turned off, my raw cache is 10GB, the raw file is 16.7MB.
If I switch to a different photo everything is speedy again.  Switching back and everything is slow.  Closing & reopening LR has no affect, neither does rebooting.  I haven't tried creating a new catalog and putting that one photo there but I doubt that would help.  I do not have Photoshop or any other memory/cpu intensive programs running.  I actually did try to quit everything and that didn't help.
I asked this on the NAPP forums and someone suggested:
- Is it a Raw file or Tiff or Jpeg?
Raw.
- Cache may be corrupt, try to purge the cache.
That did make a difference, but it's still quite slow.
- Delete your history?
I haven't tried this yet mainly because the I'm still making adjustments to the photo in question and I love being able to go back a bunch rather than having to start over again.  I plan on doing a bunch of similar adjustments to another photo then deleting the history and seeing if that helps.  Still, that's not something I want to be doing WHILE I'm still editing the photo.
- Open the task manager and watch the cpu/memory.
Did this and noticed when I made ANY change on a photo with lots of adjustments, both cpu and memory went up - cpu hit 85-95% doing anything and memory climbed from the 1.8GB it had when it started to 2.8GB.  If I go to a new photo cpu stays around 40-50% and memory stays lower, around 2.2-2.4GB.  And again, the more adjustments I added, the highter the cpu and memory went.
And it isn't just this photo.  I've worked with many photos - both mine and from others - and as I add more and more adjustments (brush, sliders, etc), LR starts slowing down more and more.  I also have LR installed on my work computer and my personal computer, both share the same performance issues.  It's just when I get a LOT of adjustments made that this happens - mostly adjustment brushes.
Any thoughts?  Thanks very much!!

Pic4,
I would think that it's the same problem on Mac. As Lee Jay has explained "Simplistically, it has to redraw all the local adjustments every time you update a slider" these adjustments create o lot of traffic between your hard drive(s) and the memory. So - simplistic - if all the traffic has to go back and forth to the same hard drive, there's congestion. So better, divide the various LR "elements" between different physical hard drives.
Put your catalog on the external eSata - assuming that LR resides on your internal drive - and make your cache very large.
I'd like to put in a word about hard drives: Instead of choosing one (1) huge internal drive it would be better to have at least two, or better three internal drives that can be much smaller. I'd say three drives @ 250 GB give you much better performance than one drive with 1 TB.
With three drives, you'd put LR on drive 1 (C-drive), the LR catalog on drive 2, and the LR cache on drive 3. That way the system does not have to wait for one drive to finish writing before it can be read again (in simplistic terms) but the writing and reading happens simultaneously on three drives. That's the performance gain when you put the catalog, the cache and LR on different drives. It has to be different physical drives, partitions of one drive won't do it.
I would think that it's the same on a PC or on a Mac.

  • Dedup performance getting worse and worse

    Hi Everyone
    I am running Windows 2012 Server and using it for storing VEEAM backups of our VMware environment, and well as a lot of SQL database backups
    Deduplication has been running well for the past couple of months (about 35Tb saved), but the performance seems to be getting worse and worse and it is now struggling to keep up with the rate at which new data is added
    Checking task and resource manager it doesn't appear that the fdsmhost.exe is really doing much work at all. I see long periods of complete inactivity with no disk access which is not really what I would expect. The files deduped and dedup savings are not
    changing either
    Does anyone have any good information about factors affecting dedup performance. I've tried manually starting the dedup job with the priority and memory usage parameters to force it to high priority and give it a decent amount of memory but still no joy
    We have recently added some more VMs to our setup so some of the backup files are very large (around 1.6Tb). is it likely to just be struggling with these large files?
    Any clues or best practices?
    Thanks
    Harley

    2) There is no integration between VEEAM and MS as such. VEEAM just writes the backup files to a share and then Windows goes and deduplicates these at a later date. This was working fine for a couple of months but now seems to basically be doing nothing.
    This is causing me to run out of space fast as a weekly full backup is around 1.6Tb and the nightly incrementals are about 200Gb each. When this was working they would all get deduplicated back close to nothing freeing up nearly all of the space. Obviously
    this makes a massive difference. VEEAM itself is still working, but no deduplication seems to be happening
    3) I probably wasn't very clear, but it is only SQL backups being stored on here and not any actual live databases. As the nightly backups don't change very much and are never accessed except in a restore they should be perfect candidates for deduplication
    and do actually give very good deduplication rates.
    I do notice that one of the items on your list is files approaching or greater than 1Tb
    so maybe that is the problem as the weekly backup is one 1.6Tb file
    Maybe i'll try to split the backups up slightly and see if that makes any difference. Thinking about it  ..... before we adding the recent batch of servers to VMware the backup was around the 1Tb mark and it seems to have died around the jump to 1.6Tb

  • IPad 2 light leakage? Does it get worse with time?

    My iPad 2 suffers from the leakage.
    Question. Will it get worse over time, or WYSIWYG?
    Regards

    Hello all,
    I have the same question but it's for a first gen iPad that I just got replaced due to an issue with the old one that I had. This new iPad is having a light bleeding issue around the edges and it is really bugging me. It runs just fine just having a light bleeding issue. Do I need to worry about it?

  • Music Player is getting worse with iOS 7 patch

    Entire screen gets covered with album covers. No discernible interface. Just scroll through apparently every album. How do I get rid of that?
    Album cover art & controls become my default screen art. Didn't ask for that. How do I turn it off?
    Player screen went landscape, showed "Ratings" in the upper left corner in red. "Done" in the upper right. List of current playlist that I could scroll through. Neither link worked. Could not return app to expected behavior. Even re-booted. Still came back the same way.
    I let it sit for a few minutes, and it seems to have corrected itself.
    Apple, this is a buggy mess. Get your act together. Yes, I installed the latest update. Version 7.0.4.  Thanks for listening.

    Much worse. With all the new settings switched off and all the other old settings how they were on iOS 6, and folliwing my usual useage patterns, my battery dies approx 2 hours quicker with iOS 7. I did a clean install via iTunes too.

  • ORACLE performance get worse after 24 hours of inactivity

    Yesterday I imported a ORACLE DB, and I executed a query which uses some indexes. The query had only a LEFT JOIN between two tables. 24 hours later I executed the same query and then ORACLE decided not using the indexes and now uses full table access. That is the reason because the performance is worse. Does anybody know what is happening?

  • Mighty Mouse tracking performance getting worse

    Has anyone noticed that the tracking performance of the MM deteriorates over time ? I have tried to investigated what could be the cause and I am not sure if it's connected to other bluetooth devices in the vacinity or if it's connected in some way to what apps are loaded on the MAC, or is it both ? there seems to be considerable communication in this forum that suggests that the hardware is suspect ..... is this another problem...
    John

    Have you tried putting in new batteries?
    I wrote up a few things to try and then I came across some steps from apple:
    7) Check for a Bluetooth Update
    To check for new software, choose Software Update from the Apple menu (make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet). If newer Apple Bluetooth software exists, Software Update will find it. To install an update, select the checkbox next to the software name and then click Install.
    8) Check for Signal Spoilers
    Because Bluetooth works by transmitting signals through the air, some things can interfere with connections. Avoid situations in which metal objects come between your device and computer. Don't put your computer under a metal desk or locked away behind a metal cabinet. Keep cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other electrical devices that operate on a 2.4 GHz bandwidth away. And make sure that your device and computer aren't more than 30 feet apart from each other.
    9) Restart Your Computer
    Sometimes a simple restart—or two—is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. Try restarting your computer to see if that clears up the issue. If not, try shutting down your computer, waiting a minute, and then starting it back up again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
    10) Reset Your Bluetooth Device
    First try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't work, see if you can reset your device—please refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
    These are from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303591

  • Problems getting worse with on 10.9.1 with screen glitches

    Hi everyone,
    I seem to be on a slippery slope with my 21.5 inch Late 2009 iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1067 MHz RAM) after upgrading to Mavericks. I have been on many other of these topic boards and seems like people are experiencing some of my problems, but not all.
    It started out after the first day with Mavericks with a few glitches while using PhotoShop. These were little squares that just seemed out of place. It would cause my computer to freeze and I would have to force-restart it. Then it started to glitch on youtube videos, but the sound would continue to play, the mouse was working, but everything else was not functional.
    The next day was more of the same, maybe two forse restarts had to be done. At night I was watching a longer video on youtube and it glitched, crashed and I had to forse restart it. This time when the opening screen came up it was completely glitched (not jus the odd fragment) and then it went to the apple screen, I could see the loading icon, but then went to a grey screen and wouldn't go further.
    Today was even worse. I got into my computer and it was running fine. I did a disk repair, checked utilities etc, then I decided to see if it would work whilst playing a youtube video and it crashed. I restarted and restarted and restarted and couldn't get back in. I booted it up in safe mode and got in. All graphics seemed to be working great. Then there were vertical lines all up and down the screen (also on the cinema display that I have hooked up), that were not as much noise and they were faultygraphics picked up from below. At this point I made sure everything was saved on my computer and trouble shooted, seeing that some people had had problems with flash player in chrome.
    After about 3 hours of backups I tried that solution, only to find that now the interference pattern has become stronger and more pronounced.
    I tried to reset the PRAM. Not sure if that did anything. I heard the second start up noise, but it continued as if I had done nothing and crashed at the grey screen.
    I am out of options. I heard that the beta 10.9.2 solved this for someone, but I don't have time to wait for the new software to be released as I work on my computer for a living. If anyone could lend me a hand, I would be so grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Here's another one.

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that it could be. In my own MBP it turned out to be a bad cable. All you can do is try all the various things others have. Type "mbp wifi problems" in the search box and you'll find all kinds of things to try.

  • Why is Firefox getting WORSE with each new version? The new version eleven crashes my PC about every 15 minutes! Back to I.E.!

    The new version 11 crashes my entire PC causing a total restart about every 15 minutes and I have tried everything to fix this problem with no luck so I have now went back to I.E. aat least it doesnt crash and i can watch Youtube vids without hanging up every 30 seconds!
    Each new version of Firefox seems to be WORSE than the one before, crashing my entire system is my biggest issue at this point! Some of the older versions seemed stable so what and why has the developers tptally ruined this browser? I am not the only person with these problems I see forums full of users complaining so why isnt the developers putting out a stable browser?
    Firefox needs to GET ON THE BALL and get a stable browser out for all of its lowal users this is totally rediculous! I am VERY PISSED OFF!

    Whatever you do, don't get version 12 because it's just as bad as the rest. Not responding, not responding is what I see most of the time. I'm tired of looking at that blue circle spinning.
    I thought Firefox is suppose to be tops but I've had more problems with it than I had with IE. It literally takes minutes for some pages to load. Tabs and pages open by themselves from who knows where.
    The updates and new versions go from bad to worse. I scan my computer several times a week with MSE, Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntispyware, thinking that it might help and it doesn't.
    This is pathetic. Firefox, please get someone in there who knows what the heck they are doing. It seems like instead of bug fixes, someone's putting in some bugs.
    No one should have to repeatedly do this:
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Clear your cookies and cache
    3. Update your plugins
    4. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode
    5. Troubleshoot your plugins
    6. Reset your Firefox settings
    7. Reinstall Firefox
    8. Make a new profile
    Other solutions
    Check for conflicts with your Internet security software
    Scan your system for viruses and spyware
    Check your hard drive for errors

  • Get data with more than one table

    hi Gurus,
    I am from ABAP and now am doing Crystal reports...please bear with me if am silly.
    in ABAP I have developed a report based on my select statement.
    ex : **SELECT SINGLE * FROM cabn WHERE atnam EQ 'Z10_OPS_INC_REGION'.**   
           CLEAR ausp_objek.
          CONCATENATE cciht_ihva-recn cciht_ihva-actn INTO ausp_objek.
          CLEAR ausp.
    now i have value in ausp_objek based on this i gone to other table to get the ausp-atwrt
          SELECT DISTINCT atwrt FROM ausp
                                INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_ausp
                                WHERE objek EQ ausp_objek
                                  AND atinn EQ cabn-atinn
    so i have value in lt_ausp-atwrt which i wanted..
    so in CRYSTAL  How does this work???...i have linked the tables but it is not a direct value from single table...at this point how do we get the desired results...
    hope am clear...
    thank you,
    pasala.

    Hi Pasala,
    Nothing silly about it... We have a forum called SAP integration Kit which is both familiar with ABAP and CR so I moved your post to that forum.
    Try searching on the home page for this forum on "ABAP" and you'll find lots of examples and suggestions and of course others will help too.

    Hi,
    1 to 8 GB for process is little on the higher side :) Y don't you try to "page" it up like windows.. Serialize the memory intensive objects into a folder and load them (unserialize) when they are required...
    Just a suggestion and not exactly answering your qn. ..But just thought will post this comment ... Hope it gives some insight..

  • FiOS TV just gets worse with every update.

    First you take away Channel Reminder.  The primary reasons I chose FiOS TV. I don't want to record GD every program  I want the set top box to go to the program I want to watch without me remembering.
    The "New & Better" boxes.  Drops images, skips or pauses all the time on its own  Terrible pixelation more frequently on more channels.
    The "New" channel guide is VERY POORLY laid out and the colors and font make it very difficult to read.  Once again your "updates" are a step backwards and another reason the leave FiOS when my "commitemnt" runs out.  GOD what was I thinking?

  • Firefox 32.0.3 sucks and it just gets worse with every update .

    Firefox 32.0.3 still has a lot of problems to their site.
    Here are some that need to be fixed with Firefox 33:
    1. The back, forward, refresh and bookmark buttons are shown in the right click page.
    2. When skipping through Flash videos, the time bar stops moving and buffering occurs.
    Don't even update me to this garbage automatically. I'm fine using Firefox 31.

    The back, forward, refresh, and bookmark buttons are currently shown as icons in the right-click context menu.
    You can select them with the cursor Down key.
    If you prefer text labels then you can install the "Classic Theme Restorer" extension.
    You can find the option to get text labels instead of icons in the context menu in the Options/Preferences of the CTR extension in the General UI section.
    Replace page context menu icons with labels (back, forward, stop, reload, bookmark page)
    Does Firefox 33 use the HTML5 player when you get those issues with buffering or is the Flash player used?
    The Flash player should give the Flash context menu when you right-click the player.

  • How is it possible for iTunes to get worse with every update??

    Seriously this is baffling me.
    I hate the new Get Info box, the auto-fill is terrible because as soon as I hit space bar to finish off the album artist etc. it's like the spacebar acts the same as hitting enter.
    I seem to notice that sometimes album artist or comments will disappear from the get info box despite me picking always show current fields
    I also massively dislike the fact that say if i've searched for a particular album in my library and I wanna just listen to that for a while, as soon as i click on a different playlist like recently added or the itunes store, it will no longer just play my album but will play my entire library, it's like it's forgotten that i had searched just for that particular album, kinda like if on the older versions when you paused a song and went into a different playlist it forgot what you was listening to
    just in general this feels really shoddy and a giant leap back, the only reason i'm reluctant to stop using is because it's easy to sync my iPhone through it and I use iTunes store a fair bit as it's normally quite alot cheaper than beatport etc
    I really hope they have a serious look at improving on this because I just think it's really poorly laid out and not very easy on the eye

    Is this even possible? I would be very surprised if it wasnt.
