The only thing that I see on Performance Settings is the check box for “use graphics processor”. I have updated to the newest version with the corrected import screen. Any suggestions?
Yes, that is the only thing to change to change there. The other one to look at is the Camera RAW Cache size that is under Preferences->File Handling. The default is something low like 1.0GB and we recommend setting it to 70GB.
Hey there Gladys,
I am sorry I did not see the question sooner. However, I thought I would show you real quick in a YouTube Video how to update this setting to boost Lightroom’s Speed. I hope this info is beneficial and helpful!

Thanks, Darin and Jeff. I appreciate your quick answers. I thought that is probably what Jim was talking about but just wasn’t sure. Thanks again.
Great tip Jim! After that little tweak my LR is running much faster. Easy to do and effective. Another reason to listen to your podcasts (I never miss them!) Thanks again.
