I am having terrible problems with Adobe Camera Raw. When I am processing files with it, it is VERY slow, jerky, and virtually unusable. After I perform any operation on a file, it clogs up completely and takes minutes to unclog. The computer I use has the following specs:

Device name CreativeDen
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6850K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
Device ID FD410815-7714-4076-A000-0AB2A1A2A0C2
Product ID 00330-50321-30725-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
Display adapter NVIDIA GeForce 3060

In addition, I have set the cache to a drive with plenty of space but only mediocre speed (it is several years old).

As is apparent from the above, my computer is reasonably capable. Also, it does not suffer the same problems when I am in Photoshop proper or any other of my graphics program (e.g., Coreldraw).

I cannot decide what to do.
(a) Do I need to upgrade to a faster system?
(b) Would instally a fast NVMe SSD drive for the cache solve the problem?
(c) Is it possible that I have not set up the cache or graphics card correctly, or is my graphics card too underpowered?
(d) other possibilities

I would be very appreciative if someone with expertise on this issue would help me decide what to do.

Also, is this a new problem, meaning did it work fine before but is now slow, or is this the first time you have tried it?

Can you list what hard drives you have installed and which one is the C: drive?
Hi Davey,
My C: drive is an SSD. I have a great many drives--too many to list. The problem has arisen in the past 30 to 45 days. It may coincide with my go back and reprocessing some old photos, from 2008 etc. I'm going to do more investigation on that.

Thanks for your input.
Mike

Open Event Viewer, System Log, filter by "disk" it will show any disk errors like bad sectors or blocks being retried or remapped. You could have a drive failing. Download HD Sentinel Trial version and use it to check health, SMART of each drive.
