    Synchronize Folder Trouble - Extremely Slow

      I've been using the Synchronize Folder feature for years.  Just the other day, it turned painfully slow.  Last night before going to bed I started it syncing a single new folder.  The action would result in the import of approximately 3,000 files.  This morning about eight hours later when I check, it's only close to finishing.  I can see on my CPU meter that LR has pegged one of the cores at 100%, and is doing nothing with any of the other cores.  (LR keeps this core pegged whether it's doing a folder sync, or just sitting there idling.)

       

      This folder in particular contains a mix of .CR2 files from a 5d mk III and a 1D X.  The day before it exhibited the exact same behavior with another folder from a different job.  The slowness persists through LR restarts and computer restarts.

       

      Any thoughts?
