Did anyone tried the 4.2 version and can tell about the differences/improvements?

I find that it is slow compared to 4.1

For me ... it is the same as LR 4.1. Loading (starting the app) seems to take a little longer, but once it is loaded, I can move in LOOPE mode or DEVELOP mode pretty much the same as it did in LR 4.1.

Did you defrag your HD after you upgraded to LR 4.2? I just did a file-level defrag of just the "C:\Program Files" folder and it seems to be peppier today (or it could be a placebo effect).

I downloaded and installed it yesterday and have processed a hundred or so images. I haven't noticed any difference in speed or performance.

I find that overall 4 has been much slower than 3, but I have also noticed that 4.2 seems slower than 4.1.

Update

Just did the recommended defrag and seems to have made a huge difference.

4.2 seems to have fixed a few bugs and added some new camera support.

Defrag doesn't work for me as I run off SSD so still a little slower

I hadn't noticed a speed difference- I just re-applied the famous "preferences file delete" fix (link below) and it does seem a bit better. Placebo? Ymmv...
