A really fast PC/MAC won\'t make a SPP experience a joy if you used to real time response on demanding applications handling 1GB+ files with ease.

If the camera could write to X3F files a Noise Reduction setting OFF, all I\'d be doing in SPP is Batch save to TIFF 16-bit and get out of SPP to to work with the files on a faster application.
Sorry too hear your experience with SPP is such a dower one Milina.
Not sure what a fast computer is, do they run to the shops . Compatibility and processing power is a term I\'d be more familiar with. I can assure you not to give up, a pc can be built so SPP is a joy too use while working on raw files in real time. As productive as LR and Cs6. Although I recognise, have sympathies and have great respect for your negative experience of SPP and a few years ago I had that very same experience, but instead of moaning about it as many did at the time, I decided to resolve the issues.

All the best.
I have been playing with SPP 6.3. It is faster when the photo being edited is on an SSD drive. Not sure why, because I have more than enough RAM to handle the job. Overall, very much improved on my machine! Still not at the level of LR, but getting close. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised and instead of just using SPP as a raw to tiff converter, I will do more editing in SPP in the future.
Yes SSD is always going to have advantages, as does where the programs lie on a normal hard drive. Yes ram amounts has little bearing from my experience but CPU cores does. A decent i7 8 core 16 threads cpu and matching Ram sticks works a treat.
