LR-friends.
My LR is getting slower and slower over time. To overcome this I decided to spend some money on my hardware... but still slow...why?
I upgraded the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / PCIe - no significant improvement
Then I decided to change motherboard (Asus H270-PRO), processor (Intel i7-7700 4.2 GHz) and memory (64GB DDR4 2400MHz) ... I kept my SSD and Windows 10-installation - but still no boost of performance.
For example;
When I open/change image the right tools panel is redrawn, I am able to see the tiles drawn.
When I am using filters for adjustments with my Wacom (or mouse) I can draw and when I am done the effect of the filter is shown... I have to wait to see what effect the adjustment had to my image... when I have lots of adjustments this is really annoying, draw - wait - draw - wait... ops, undo and redraw - wait...
What’s wrong? I believe I have Close to the fastest h/w currently available... the CPU utilization isn’t high while working within LR... why?
I am eager to get this resolved... should I do a Clean install of my computer?

If you are doing a lot of brushing and/or spot healing, this is a known issue in Lightroom. In my opinion, you have reached a limitation of the non-destructive editing paradigm in Lightroom, and also a limitation of your hardware to do the calculations in "real time".
Some things you can try:

Thanks for your answer!
1) I tested to disable the GPU... when I adjust the Tone Curve with or without the GPU... its sooo slow... no big difference
2) ok, I usually do the brushing as the last step... 3) Photoshop might be an alternative but I would slow down my image processing... I usually have 100+ images each time...
4) yep, I Think I got Close to the fastest CPU on the market right now...
