So basically nothing to fix the VERYVERY uselessly slow performance.....

[AmbientLight]

This fixes two minor nuisances I have actually experienced (the gray image placeholder appearing for a short while and the clarity - luminance noise issue). Not that this bothered me too much, but nevertheless I do appreciate things getting better.

Well that certainly went smoother than the last Aperture update.

At last tethered shooting with the 5dMkIII is working!!!!

There were several performance enhancements put in to this release.

I don't have a performance problem.  Sounds like a configuration issue if you have a PC.

I have a PC (with plenty of RAM, etc.) and maybe someone can answer my problem about loading photos into Lightroom.  Once I import photos from my harddrive into LR, before I go into the Develop module, I wait for all the photos to "load", by waiting for the 3 tiny dots to disappear from each photo, indicating the photo is loaded.  The problem is, only the photos that are displayed on the screen actually "load", so I then have to scroll down to have the next line(s) of photos to show on the screen before they actually load.  I have the thumbnails set to the smallest setting so more photos are on the screen at once in the Library module.  Is there something I'm missing or I'm doing wrong.  I would rather have all the photos load on their own and go do something useful, instead of having to scroll down every 30 seconds until my 1,000 photos or so are finished loading.  The reason I make sure all the photos are loaded, meaning the 3 dots have disappeared, is so that in the Develop module it doesn't take forever for a single photo to become ready for adjustments.

LR runs fairly slow on my computer too.  I have a quadcore iMac (i7) with 12GBs of RAM.  I also convert to .dng

The only thing that is slow is when the photo actually loads up.  Other than that there are usually tiny delays after adjustments.  Maybe i'm expecting too much, but Aperture didn't run this slow.  However, LR punishes Aperture in just about every other regard, so I can live with it.

You don't have to do this.  It sounds like you have LR set to build "minimal" previews on import.  Then it has to work hard to load them later.  Instead, set LR to build "1:1" or "standard" previews on import.  This way the import process takes longer, but the previews are all built when it's done.  This setting (called "Render Previews") is in the top right of the Import screen. 

Also, I've heard it's good to give LR a big cache for Camera Raw Settings.  This is done in LR Preferences, under File Handling.

Awesome, I'll take a look when I get home today.  Thank you.
