over all every new version of most software becomes slower and bigger and
thats a fact of life. that machine u are using is way too slow for lr. u
need a 4 core 16gb ram and sd disk. that us the new norm aram. time to
upgrade. for me its about the same speed as lr5. i am running a 12 core 48
gb desktop.
