With both LR 10 and now 10.1 I have an induced performance issue. If I’ve made any slider adjustments in the Basic panel “at all” the clone tool takes a full second or so to render the healing / cloning. What used to be instantaneous is now unusable. The answer, of course, is to review the image for needed spotting / cloning / healing as my first order of business - but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? In all other respects LR seems to be pretty responsive.
Windows 10, Puget Systems box with lots of RAM, dual SSD, Quadra card.
UPDATE / FIX: Well, I discovered that my problem was out of date video card driver(s). The clone tool is working quickly again.

The problem may be the GPU. Try turning off GPU acceleration and see if it resolves the issue. (preferences/performance tab) LR seems to be very fussy about GPUs now.

Thanks . . . that was my first thought, too. Tried turning of GPU. No difference.

I saw this yesterday on a GFX100 image, on my 2016 15 inch Macbook Pro. Each click of the clone tool resulted in 8 seconds of spinning pizza wheel.
I'll try it on a fresh image, and also try turning off the GPU acceleration and see what happens.

VERY interesting. I too am finding this principally on GFX 100 files.

I had a similar problem where the radial filter would take 10-15 seconds to respond after the first adjustment.
I re-installed Version 10.0 and it now seems fine.

This is my first time with the forum, so don't know if this will be received. Anyway, for what it's worth, I experienced the same problem, but realized I had 'rezed-up' my photo with Perfect Resize (from Topaz I think). So the computer was all of a sudden trying to manipulate many more pixels than before. Also, after enough Edit-Edit-Edits . . . you may be dealinbg with a line of code which is simply reaching the limit of your cpu . . .

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Since the files I’m working on are “freshly imported” GFX 100 files, they’re pretty large. But Photoshop’s tools have no problem at all, even if I’ve added many adjustment layers and working with a Smart Object.
I’m going to try the uninstall / reinstall recommended above to see if that makes a difference. And, prior to 10.0 version, it was fine with my GFX 100 files.

As opposed to turning off the GPU, Make sure it is turned all the way on. When I installed version 10 my GPU usage was set to auto and was only being used for Display purposes. I went in and changed to Custom and selected Use GPU for image processing. Local adjustments sped up significantly.

I've found I need to delete my preview cache a lot more often then I used to. It was something maybe I did once a month, especially after looking at large groups of photos in short time, but now I'm doing it at least once a week.
That GPU issue seems to help too. Wishing I stuck with v9. Not really that many mission critical updates in v10.

I have had this issue with LR for several years. I have become so frustrated with it (as well as other GUI slowdowns), I just bought a new GPU (went from a GTX 1080 to an Asus Radeon RX 5700 XT). This week, with a large job coming up, I'll see if I experience any improvements. (I have had similar issues with Photoshop 2021 where I did not experience sluggish performance with earlier versions).
I did find out one thing a number of years ago and likely it's still a factor. I was told this by Adobe Tech Support (when you could still get someone on the phone and they spoke "American English"). Apparently the more adjustments you do to an image before cloning and healing, the longer it takes to render. Go figure. If I remember correctly, it has to do with writing all the data/image changes to the drive.
