| Nov 10, 2019 at 20:24 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @TheLuckless to be fair to the votes-to-close as off-topic, this particular question kinda comes close to the line. It's not a bad question at all; rather, because it focuses on threading, SSDs, CPU idle, etc., it has many of the appearances of a Super User question. But I thought that the potential for answers such as yours and mattdm's kept the answer on-topic. | |
| Nov 10, 2019 at 20:16 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @MichaelC I understand your analysis, but what differentiates LR as a photo processing tool from non-photographic applications is the tautology: it's a photo processing tool. While OP focused on system specs and issues, answers to the question "Any ideas as to what the bottleneck might be? Or some way to speed this up?" might very well be LR-specific, or perhaps oblique strategies or tips from a photographer's standpoint. Because LR itself is a photo processing tool, it seems to me that the question on topic. | |
| Nov 10, 2019 at 19:06 | comment | added | Michael C | @scottbb That's precisely why I think this question is off-topic. I see nothing about this question that differentiates LR "as a photo processing tool" from any other non-photographic application that is not optimized for a multithreaded environment. There are no "quirks" that make multithreading and prefetching any different for LR than an application that computes precise numbers for an engineering or architectural application. | |

| Nov 8, 2019 at 17:45 | comment | added | TheLuckless | From the help center: On topic questions include: "using photographic equipment" - If a computer running lightroom for managing isn't part of that for modern photography, then I'm not really sure what to say. This kind of question is up there with "What's going wrong with my auto-focus?" - Rather on-topic and useful information in my mind. | |

spelling corrections and question of what I'm looking for

| Nov 8, 2019 at 0:40 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | I'm voting to leave this question open. It's definitely somewhere near the edge of topicality, but the use & quirks of tools involved in or specifically for the business and production of photography are on topic, IMO. | |
| Nov 7, 2019 at 21:39 | comment | added | BobtheMagicMoose | If I rephrase the question to be: "is this normal?" Would that be more on topic? | |

| Nov 7, 2019 at 20:53 | comment | added | Michael C | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about system optimization that is only tangentially related to photography. If an application (such as LR) does not support multithreading and prefetching files, then there's not much that can be done to optimize a process using that application. | |
