Loading speed or system setup?

[Gabor Gosztonyi]

Hi All, I have a technical setup question and still could not find an answer in this forum yet.

When I bought AP a year ago I had a quite old laptop and I thought that the speed of opening up a new jpeg was slow due to my computer.

A month ago I bought a new laptop, a Lenovo Yoga 530, with SSD drive and 16 GB RAM. Unfortunately I do not see significant change. I can not open more than 4-6 RAW pictures or 10-12 jpegs at the same time as the software can not handle more, and the time of opening up 5 RAW pics takes ca. 2 minutes. I also tried to finetune the preferences as per the screenshot below but no change. On the other hand the sample files from the AP Workbook, even in case of 500-900 MBs open up in seconds.

Can you please advise me what is the best setup in the preferences to have the quickest workflow? Or this is the speed what AP can do and I should cross my fingers for the 1.7 version with better loading speed? Thanks in advance.

Hi Gabor Gosztonyi and Welcome to the Forums,

Those settings like fine to me but i'd suggest giving the 1.7 Beta a try from here as it has had a number of improvements made and you should notice a difference in performance

Thanks for the reply. Can you please also comment what is the cause of situation? Is it computer sutup or hardware or something else? Why do I not see any difference if I change the AP Performance setup? What does this setup influence? Any issue with the video card? Etc.

I will look at 1.7 Beta in the meantime.

Thank you.
