[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 500037, member: 9240"] Some performance has been improved in later releases, but it's the Import process is what they're specifically concerned with and it has [B][I]always [/I][/B]been slow as heck. I thought it was getting worse, but I've also been doing more things as a part of the import so I couldn't be sure. The article points to the time required to import photos [I]already on the disk[/I]. I import directly from a card reader and understand that this can add time. That said, the LR import process is done in two stages, first copying the files to the new location (which is skipped in this case) and then generating the previews for the catalog. It's that last step that can be interminable and needs improving on. They made a big deal at launch about how LR 6 was the first real "rewrite" of Lightroom since it was introduced, but I would question just now much of that is pure smoke. [/QUOTE]
