I know this is an older thread, but I will add some important info from my findings:
I purchased a NEW Lenovo (Win10) all in one to replace an aging HP (Win7) laptop.
I ONLY used DPP to tether and VIEW images and maybe store remotely my files (I do product photography in my studio, and often off-site. I edit on a 5K iMac up in the office)
DPP4 was painfully slow to tether and load. It took 10-15 seconds per image before it cleared.
I uninstalled the DPP4 program and EOS Utility3. Instead I went back to an older DPP3 and EOS Utility2 disk and installed them...
Like night and day. Images would load to full view resolution within 5 seconds. For me, to have to wait that long to review images, it would have wasted WAY too much time.
My needs are unique, but the problem and speed differences are real, and the earlier program worked MUCH better.

I have exactly the same issues on location, I have an i7 laptop and end up using Eos Utility 2 and Breeze Browser Pro because that was by far the fastest combo to get RAW's to view.
DPP4 RAW conversions are absolutely no better than DPP3 as far as my processing ability goes, plus little things like the resize option isn't sticky like it is in DPP3 so you have to manually select it every time and there's no way to do the crop without selecting a different tool. It takes several seconds for every alteration to de-pixelize.
It's slow as a slug too, a single RAW conversion can take 15 seconds or more
It gives another option now there's a DPP4 that finally works with older cameras but DPP4's benefts are pretty limited IMHO
