I feel your pain, Larry. I bought 4.x but didn't install it because I need to do some processing on a WinXP computer. Reports of 4.x being slower than 3.6 also did not encourage me for the upgrade. So, I am still stuck on 3.6.
Somebody here, on PDML, mentioned that 5.x offers some performance improvement over 4.x. I wonder how much is that, - is the speed and responsiveness back to the level of 3.x? On LR facebook page, I see some people complaining about performance issues and memory management.. I don't know how much of that is subjective: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151668726263464&set=a.117703788463.98904.5850453463&type=1 Igor Fri Jun 21 22:20:51 EDT 2013 Larry Colen wrote: Unfortunately, for me it would cost about $2,000 to upgrade lightroom.
