How do I speed up Lightroom on my new Mac Pro (2013)?

i have tried suggested in forums running imports in parallel, etc., , data on super fast built-in pci-express ssd of mac pro. however, have numerous speed problems lightroom 5.3 (latest version) when importing , working photos.

 

right now, here doing

 

* performing 3 parallel imports maximum speed suggested in september, 2013 (to supposedly boost input 25% cpu 60% on multi-core machine).

* buildling 1:1 previews , other suggested official lightroom performance tips

 

and getting:

 

* between 11 15%  cpu utilization, when running imports , building previews in parallel.

* data being read @ 2.5 6.5 mb per second.

* when @ images after previews have been built, see sharp image 1/100th of second, blurs 3/4 of second, sharpens again in 1 second, if lightroom redeveloping again despite having 1:1 preview built.

 

to workflow, horrifically slow. tasked go through 5,300 sports photography images in hour if possible, many taken @ on 10 frames per second 1d x. efficiently requires being able instantly see exact sharpness of photograph, not being blurred full second, can pick out sharpest image burst of many images of each top play.

 

i love features of being able flag/unflag p , u, star 1-5, go full screen f, zoom z, crop r, etc., productivity potential fantastic keyboards shortcuts have being utterly defeated fact lightroom going super slow on brand new 6-core mac pro. literally slower using picasa or faststone on cheap core i3 laptop regular hdd.

 

how can configure lightroom use 6 cores , more of hard drive speed speed workflow?

 

obviously, lightroom should able better if using more 15% of cpu , more 1% of ssd capability.

 

for me serious problem , preventing new mac pro purchase being use me. having use other software right meet production deadlines, , go through later on lightroom @ glacially slow pace. after couple weeks of duplicated workflow, getting tired of it.

maybe providing systen details in full location of files.

thank you...
