ON1 Photo RAW slows down while using for a while
Hello,
First I love On1 Photo RAW! I have a PC that is relatively new, 6 cores, 16GB ram, 1TB SSD, and more than 50% space on the drive.
I read one thread where it spoke of catalogs. I went looking for performance improvements such as providing priority to this software in WIN10, but couldn't find anything. I am editing a couple hundred or more photos that are in folders on one of my Network drives (NAS).
It will work fine at the start-up, but as the day goes on, it slows down, so much so I may as well stop as I cannot wait minutes for it to complete a function. It will load slow as well so much that the screen doesn't fill with the image and I have to click it again to refresh.
Is there some trick, a mod to the software or PC, or something I am doing wrong? I have been using the program for months and although slightly noticed before when not doing heavy editing, this is way too much.

Hello
I am not sure those programs (including Lightroom) are made to use NAS drives as a working drive. You are cumulating unnecessary latency from repeated network access, cumulated with classic disk drive acces time (several ms). Don't forget that LR/On1 also generate also small file size, which is usually not bettering access time too.
Is it doing the same behaviour if working with a folder on your local SSD drive ? Acces Latency is way better on SSD.
My advice would be to work your edits on SSD instead, and synchronise folder on your NAS (this is working in background) by another sync program usually provided with NAS software suite.

My machine does this too. I usually have to close and restart the program. It gets worse the more I do, and with 32 gig of memory, sometimes I'll have very little of it left. My brushes stutter to the point where it's unusable.
Here's a link to a brief discussion:
