[Leica] Lightroom 6 speed issue?

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I agree with mehrdad. - nowadays software drives computer upgrades, so
every time I upgrade, I try to do so with state of the art components at
that point of time, so I have a machine good for at least three years. I
upgraded 15 months ago to a motherboard that takes 64GB RAM - IMHO, RAM is
critical for fast image processing - by default if you use such a
motherboard you will need a recent processor. Because I play games on the
PC, the graphics processor keeps getting updated regularly as well! I also
use two SSDs - one for the operating system/applications, and one
exclusively for the swap files/scratch disk.

No problems at all with speed...

Cheers
