[Members] Lightroom 4 - slow performance

[David Kennedy]

Hi all

You may be interested in trying or upgrading to Lightroom 4.  Lightroom 4 has some very positive new features, including the "develop module updates", such as improved basic editing, enhanced curves, more local adjustments, soft proofing etc. A seemingly worthwhile update.

However, some significant performance issues have been identied by users and it would be wise to wait until these issues are addressed.  Here is a quote from a Adobe Lightroom team member:
 "Two specific performance issues (have been identified): 

1. Using a dual-monitor system slows down Lightroom 4 performance. 
2. In some circumstances, Develop sliders are showing lags. (I would add 1-3 sec per move!)

The team is working on fixes for these.  We are going to escalate a release candidate of 4.1 to make a build available with these fixes as soon as possible. Actual timing will depend on when the fixes are completed and tested."
