Lightroom Running Slow
I am not aware of a problem but have never needed to export that many files at one time.

When I say files, I mean shots (lightroom calls them files). It never used to take that long. In addition tranferring settings from one shot used to be almost immediate, now it takes probably 10 seconds each time. Another thing is that when I am exporting, it slows everythng else up, like going on the internet, to the point that it never connects. I have 16Gb of Ram, an i7 processor and I'm using USB 3.0 connections.
Have you checked to see if you overlooked resizing your images for export to the small size many use when exporting files.
Or perhaps a fragmented drive - try doing a defrag on the drive you are using.
I had a similar issue once with Photoshop.
Chances are Adobe have added an 'improvement' in that update, which is causing the problem.
Try reverting to an earlier version. If the problem goes away, then you'll know it's nothing to do with your machine.

I've noticed a slowing down of processes in LR too. I have 16gb RAM i7 processor too. If I am applying a master edit to a whole set of say 500 images its considerably slower now. I would now have time to make a coffee when exporting anything over a 100 files. Before these processes zipped through. I also find it slow sometimes to apply a brushstroke now too. It's almost like there's a Windows update running in the background sapping all the resource - there wasn't I checked.
I'm kinda happy its not just me, I was thinking I needed an upgrade on my PC - well I guess I might anyway. But it would be good to know what's made it run slow.

What do you have in the way of a compatible Graphics card as this is now quite critical to the performance of LR/PS. While my PC is 8 years old it is an i7 with 16G Byte Ram and a suitable Graphic card but I will replace my old slow PC soon.

Hi Dave,
I have the GeForce GTX 1070 8GB RAM card. Everything has run fine on my PC up until the last update of LR. It might just be that given my PC is a few years old now it is in need of a refresh.
I have a graphics card that is not compatible with the current Lightroom, I stopped Lightroom looking for it to accelerate the graphics not long after getting 'Classic' as all sort of strange things were hapening. I suspect that the last update may have reverted to the default situation of Lightroom looking for my graphics card, so I have now changed that back
I've also defragged the disc that all my files are stored on and the 'C' Drive from where the programmes run (which incidentally is an SSD) and purged my cache. This has improved the situation somewhat.
