The other half of the tech platform is the computer.
I use macOS (Mac Studio M2 Ultra). This setup will stay at 100% utilization for hours on end while LrC is processing 1:1 previews. I can even use LrC while it's doing so.
I have a similarly powerful Windows 11 PC, but its liquid-cooled Intel CPU (Core i9-13900K) just doesn't operate smoothly when processing. The CPU usage graph is jaggy and spiky. Also, LrC on Windows is totally unusable for hours while it processes. Not to mention it consumes 3x the power than the Mac Studio and is basically a space heater.
