1. Re: "Loading" Takes Way Too Long
ssprengel Oct 16, 2011 9:43 AM (in response to suzzie12)What you describe happens on my underpowered home computer which has only one 2.4 GHz CPU core, 4GB of memory, a 32-bit operating system and 6-year-old motherboard technology. On my 2-year-old 64-bit quad-core computer with 8GB of memory, things run much faster.
A 32-bit CPU and operating system can only use 3GB of memory so 1GB of your memory is wasted.
Having extra things turned on like lens-profiles and noise-reduction makes the Develop render slower, too.
If you want LR to run well you need a good computer, an i7 CPU with 8GB of memory would be my suggestion, although you’ll probably see others running with a bit less and not being as slow as yours.

As for your question about receiving emails of replies to your original post, I think that's a setting in Preferences that makes replies to your own posts automatic. There must be another setting for receiving all posts -- and that's not the one you want.

3. Re: "Loading" Takes Way Too Long
Rainydaiz Oct 16, 2011 11:21 AM (in response to John Blaustein)I've tried pretty much everything out there Suzzie and LR is one of the fastest RAW editors available. For loading and tethering C1 Pro is marginally quicker but for sliders and especially localized brushed editing LR leaves the competition (all of it) for dust.
Like anything computer related the better the hardware the better the software performs. Try quitting all other programs, processes and maybe disabling antivirus software when committing to a LR session. Maybe defrag your harddrive and run some optimization software, sorry I'm Mac so i don't know what good cleaning software there is for windows.
Example for Mac, itunes is Lightroom's Kryptonite
