dj_paige Nov 22, 2014 4:01 AM (in response to Banana Ice)Lightroom doesn't cause the fan to be loud. It seems like you have a defective fan.
With regards to the exporting is slow, have you changed anything else, like exporting larger photos or asking for the exports to be extremely large?

Banana Ice Nov 22, 2014 6:38 PM (in response to dj_paige)The fan does not run loud until I start exporting and then quiets down once the exporting is finished. This has never happened prior to this update.

ssprengel Nov 22, 2014 9:13 PM (in response to Banana Ice)Have you checked the CPU to see if there is significant usage when LR is running, before the Export, and maxed out usage during the Export? This would be using Task Manager or Task Monitor.

Banana Ice Nov 23, 2014 5:17 AM (in response to ssprengel)I checked and it shows 40% when exporting. Not sure what is standard. I have a Macbook Pro with 16GB RAM.

johnrellis Nov 23, 2014 9:51 AM (in response to Banana Ice)But what is the CPU usage before and after doing the export?

Banana Ice Nov 23, 2014 3:07 PM (in response to johnrellis)Not very savvy with this kind of thing but the %CPU goes from 10 to 280-390 range while exporting. Then when export finishes the fan quiets down again (takes about 30 seconds).

That's actually completely normal. Lightroom should use your computer as much as it can during an export and if you are exporting a lot of images, it can ramp up close to the maximum of probably 400% if this is the four core 15" machine and not the dual core 13" one. When it does that, your fan should come on as it will heat up the CPU by quite a bit. That is completely expected.
