If you run that when things are slow, you can see which apps are taking up your CPU cycles. In your Applications Utility folder is an app called Activity Monitor. ![]() Many of these may be unnecessary or even unwanted. The other thing to check when LR is running slowly is to look at the other tasks that your computer has active. One thing that could perhaps help is to upgrade to OSX10.9.2 (Mavericks) It is a free upgrade and Apple has certainly tuned the OS to run faster since 10.7. If you have lots of memory already taken up by background tasks, LR is going to slow down because it must take its turn with all of the other apps and processes running at the same time. The OS may even limit the amount of memory that can be allocated to a program. When a program asks the OS for more RAM than the computer has available, the OS will start moving some idle processes out of RAM into a swapfile (located in the 140GB free space). Sure Adobe says that 4GB is the minimum run, but they do not suggest that it will run fast with only 4GB. More importantly, I do not believe that 4GB RAM is sufficient to meet the performance needs of LR5. LR works better with more cores four would be better the the dual cores that you and I have. My MBP is the 2.9GHz i7 (a little faster) but I have the max for my MBP of 8GB RAM. I think all of the above might be a contributor. ![]()
