I am a fairly heavy Lightroom user and it is currently running on a 4790k system overclocked to 4.7Ghz. I have noticed that with heavily processed photos having multiple adjustment brushes, heal/spot removals, sharpen, perspective correct and gradient filters, my 4790k would often get to 80-90% CPU usage with all 8 threads working when I then need to change some basic settings (e.g., white balance) and it would take a couple of seconds to process. On a new untouched raw image, the editing is fairly instantaneous. I also run Lightroom using my main 1440p monitor and a separate 1080p monitor (in portrait mode) as a second display.
I know Lightroom does not win any programming awards in terms of efficiency, but does anyone know if I can speed up Lightroom by switching to Ryzen with 8 cores vs 4790K? I use LIghroom 5.7 (I am not sure if Lightroom 6 or CC would be any better).
I game as well, but at 1440p. GPU is bottlenecked at that resolution with enhanced graphics (Fury X).
