p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · Will a lower monitor resolution speed up Lightroom? | |
Laptops unless they have solid state drives will have slower RPM hard drives as they consume less power and the battery charge will last longer. These slower drives will slow performance with applications like Lightroom. Another factor is having data on an external drive or NAS device as the data is loaded to the CPU, processed and possible written to scratch disk space on the hard drive, temp files are created on the hard drive, the image is processed again and then saved to the external device.
I get optimum performance on a Mac tower where the apps are on one drive, the data on two mirrored internal drives, scratch disk is a fourth drive, and the output is going to a fifth internal drive. I can't do that with the new trash can Mac desktop computers so am doing most of my work now on a HP tower which has 4 internal drives.
