Lightroom Classic CC: is it faster than CC 2015? Read this article at Introduction With the latest version of Lightroom, Adobe has changed the name to "Lightroom Classic CC" from the old "Lighroom CC 2015" which now refers to Adobe's cloud-based photo service rather than the stand-alone desktop program.
While this naming convention will likely cause a bit of confusion in the immediate future, the good thing is that Lightroom Classic has also received a number of performance and stability improvements. Adobe has a new features summary for Lightroom Classic CC available on their website and we will be investigating many of the claimed performance and stability enhancements.

Here’s a quick tip: if your Lightroom’s Develop module is a pain to work with because it’s so slow, try increasing the Camera Raw cache size in the settings to a huge limit.
As long as you have disk space to spare, you could see a major increase in speed. Photographer Nicky Digital of New York City was experiencing major slowdowns with his Lightroom image catalog containing 288,889 photos. He consulted with Lightroom tech support, and they told him to increase the cache size from 4GB to 50GB, and then from 50GB to 70GB. The change worked, and now Nicky’s Lightroom is usable again: The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book: The Ideal Computer Setup for Lightroom. The ideal computer setup for Lightroom depends on the size of the files you intend to work with.
The raw file captures you will be working with may range in size from 6 to 25 megapixels, and the larger files will certainly place more demands on your computer resources.

Lightroom uses previews to display photo thumbnails in the Grid view, the Loupe view, and in the Develop, Slideshow, Print, and Web modules.
When you import photos, you can choose from three types of previews of progressively higher quality: Minimal: These previews are the small, low-resolution JPEG previews embedded in the photos, which the camera generates. They are the fastest type of preview to create. The Filmstrip and Grid view of the Library module uses minimal previews temporarily, until Lightroom renders standard-size previews for those thumbnails. Embedded & Sidecar: These previews are larger, also camera-generated, and they take a little longer to create than minimal previews.
Standard: Lightroom creates standard previews. 1:1: These previews are a 100% view of actual pixels and, like Standard previews, the Camera Raw engine processes them. To display and work with photos, Lightroom requires a standard or 1:1 preview, depending on the task. Organizing Your Photos with Lightroom 5 - The DAM Book.
