5.2 is pretty solid. I have a similar W7X64 machine that runs Lr with no issues.
The size of your database of photos doesn't really matter to Lr. Mine has about 5tb of images that Lr is working with. It's the size of your .lrcat file that matters more, but even that hasn't slowed down my machine too much.
I agree with your first premise but not the 2nd. With a 2TB set of images (not sure the size of the .lrcat file) lightroom was almost unusable with my i7-3820, 32GB memory, 256GB SSD, 8TB free diskspace.
When I pared my image size down to 750GB, the application is usable though it's still not what I'd call snappy. Whereas photomechanic is definitely snappy. However, I'd have a hard time giving up the print module in lightroom. I really like what it does. And I also use it for presenting to clients, cropping, etc.
