Lightroom Classic CC: performance degradation
Ever since Lightroom 5.0 this application has been suffering from severe performance degradation after a certain time of normal use, involving simple browsing, rating, tagging, etc. Editing isn't even part of the equation - but it'll sure surface the problem sooner.
After a while of this totally normal use, Lightroom gets slower and slower, and starts demnanding more and more memory. It also uses incredible CPU loads for no good reason, draining my battery much faster than it ought to.
The Lightroom 6.14 update has come out recently. The problem IS STILL THERE, after several YEARS of updates.
I'd like to know why this problem isn't being fixed, while LR is being updated with other nonsense. How is it decided to keep severe performance bugs in the software, while adding features? Priority of issues seems really skewed here.
And before you make the suggestion: this problem persists with a new catalog.
I've used Windows 7, Windows 10 with al the major updates. I've used every single Lightroom update from 5.0 onwards. Makes no difference.

If we have to pay for them fixing this bug by upgrading to 7, essentially, then there's something fundamentally wrong with how they treat their customers, and by extension, their products.

Hi Martijn, You are 'flogging a dead horse' in your anti-subscription rant. Adobe is making much more money by selling subscriptions than from one-off payments, and it won't be long before your OS and other programs are sold in the same way. You may be unhappy, but millions are happy with the subscription to LR and Photoshop for far less than both one-off payments, assuming you update regularly.
