I was still using XP when I first got the K-5, and I immediately noticed a change in Lightroom performance, but now with the new iMac, it's so much faster, but it still does take some time with the big K-5 files. I seldom shoot jpeg. Copying RAW files over is relatively quick; it's really the "rendering standard previews" that seems to take up most of the time. But I just get the importing started, then go do something else--you know, multitasking :-) Cheers, christine
