I use a 3 year old laptop (pentium M 1,8 ghz, 1 gig of ram) and it run quite well beside the occasionnal crashes when I want it to go too fast. I do about all my processing in LR and sometimes when I really need some more located edition I can use PS to complete the job. On my next computer LR will definatly be one of the first program that I will install.
If you think that LR is slow try to run Solidworks 2005 with an assembly of about 200-400 pieces. It take me 15 minutes to open this assembly on my laptop so I think LR is plenty fast enough. |

There are a few things LR does that eat memory - the maintenance and availability of thumbnail snapshots of each of your editing steps on an image is surely one.
I'm still not quite as happy with it as I was with RSP, but its getting there as I get the hang of it. Certainly haven't been tempted to back to anything else. Printing from it, either on my Canon or on the Epson with the Permajet Monochrome inks in it is fantastic.
Still have to use PS for absolute finishing - re-sizing and USM really, as I'm not quite sure about the sharpening algorithm and output.
Oh, should have said, it's a Dell Inspiron Pentium M 1.73Ghz, 1Gb RAM laptop

if you have a decent labtop, it shouldn't bee a problem.
i have both lightroom 1.0 and PS CS3, but i only use lightroom for transferring my pictures, and dividing them into the right folders |

| In regard to slowness, it is recommended that you un-check the check box on the import screen that says something about generating full-resolution previews. Having this checked, will cause Lightroom to do a LOT more work during processing as it is constantly generating those previews. Picked up that tip at the lightroom seminar a couple of weeks ago. |

I like Lightroom a lot. Though, it's certainly not a replacement for Photoshop. The single biggest missing feature for me is USM. If it had that I'd probably get away with doing the majority of my PP exclusively in Lightroom.
As far as performance is concerned, it runs fine on my AMD 3200 XP w/2gigs box. Someone earlier in this post suggested it taps into ones video card as well as the cpu. That'd be interesting to confirm and may go a long ways to explaining why others with the same or similar systems as mine have performance issues. I'm using an ATI X850 xt plat, which is about as robust a video card you can buy for an agp based system. |

i tried really hard to get in love with lightroom but no ... we didn't make it ... absolute memory hog 500MB just to open it and load few photos, slow as a snail on slider movement ... etc.
no. this relationship has lasted only few weeks ... back to RSP.
PS: and yea all that on my new rig --> intel core 2 duo on 2.7GHz with 2GB of RAM and geforce 8600GTS :-S
