I'm professional photographer setting up TP7sp2 (will also be testing TP9 soon) on a new Win7 hot-rod primarily used for Photoshop: six core i7-3930K CPU, 512GB SSD as Drive-C, 2TB data drive, and 64GB RAM. TP has been my image manager and favorite quick editor since TPv2; I love this program!
However, I've never understood the Preference settings for performance, most specifically under Options/Preferences/Advanced. My best past guesses for TP7 on my last machine are clipped in the image below (never done this here so hope it displays).
I suspect there are other settings as well that should be changed on a six-core machine with 64GB of RAM and would appreciate any advice.
If it makes a difference, I have over 270,000 photographs ranging in size from 70Kb to over 40Mb, divided among 2,600 folders on my data drive.
Also, if anyone has experience and advice about running TP7 (or v9) on an SSD, I would appreciate that as well.
Thanks in advance, Michael
