[Leica] Lightroom 6 speed issue?

[tmanley at gmail.com (Tina Manley)]

Lightroom 6 has been blazingly fast for me, but I can't really compare it
to LR5 because I changed to a much faster computer at the same time LR6
came out.  With SSD hard drives, I don't have to wait for anything in LR or
PS.  It's so much faster that I have probably saved months of time in the
few days I have had the computer!!
