So I notice that today my LR (v 13.0.1) is taking a lot longer to do just about everything, from clicking on "Auto" in the Develop module to deleting images to even moving from one image to the next in the ribbon on the bottom while in Library module.

I also have a utility called Memory Clean 3 (on a MacBook Pro with M1 CPU and 16GB of RAM), which has a function to clean out trashed memory and displays what percentage of memory is free at the top of the screen next to the clock. Today I notice that LR is driving that free memory number down to the low teens, whereas normally it hovers in the low 20's and the system works well enough.

My conclusion is that Adobe did something to screw the pooch in the area of memory handling; two days ago this was not going on (nor has it happened in the 10 or so years i have been using LR).

So, spare me the "contact Adobe " advice - my question is "has anyone else noticed this behavior"? I have not added or changed any other software, even OSX 13.4 has not been updated for a few weeks, so it ain't that.

TIA for any comments or experiences others have had of late.

I won't suggest that you contact Adobe. However, Adobe sponsors a specialized forum of 'experts' where you should get great help quickly from one or more of many skilled users of Classic.

For example, there was a recent post there about a similar subject and (if I remember) the answer was in settings in the preferences for cache settings.

My copy is running normally. However, I wish the AI denoise feature was faster.

I’m experiencing the same issue . I’m running Sanoma 14.1 and updated Lightroom and Photoshop last night. I also have a problem with a photo that the sky looks great in the develop module and when I go to the library module the sky is completely different, the tech support has been very frustrating to deal with. Hope this gets resolved quickly!

My version is also running more slowly than usual.
