What part of the workflow concerns you most, the storage and transfer of raw files, or the processing time?
processing time, culling.....I use LR and then 5D4 files are slow compared to the 1Dx2 files....45-45 Mp files will suck for speed
I hate to say this but that's because Lightroom is a dog. I have many folders with 3000+ 50MP 5DSR files that I can fly through with other image browsers on a high end but 9 year old PC. That's how I do culling, and I do all processing in ACR and Photoshop with no speed issues at all. It's the DAM and proprietary database manipulation part of LR that is hugely inefficient. But, if you need that then you need a lot more processing power to run it.
IMO
LightRoom appears immune to any increases in processing power. I have an 8th gen i7 with 32 GB of RAM and SSDs and it is no faster than the 2nd gen Core i7 with 16 GB it replaced. Operations like selecting a bunch of images and applying a rating are glacially slow. I recently downloaded a trial of Photo Mechanic and its great. Using PM to blast through 1000 shots and find the 50 to import into LR for processing saved me so much time vs doing it all in LR.
