It took me 13 minutes and 42 seconds to move 247 files with the same keyword into one folder. I am running a 17 month old Dell 27-7777 aio with the i7, 32gb of ram, and a 1 Tb and a 2tb SSD drives. The only app I had running was Lightroom Classic.
It was like the old days using a 80286 AT system, copying from hard drive to a floppy or a Zip drive.
If that is inconvenient, then move them outside of Lightroom. Once moved, synchronize the folders. My preference is to give Lightroom time to do the slower processes. If I get antsy, I can get a beer, coffee, whiskey or tea. If not thirsty, I can usually find a YouTube on something that will refresh my knowledge on some photography technique.
