So I got to the root of the problem...
Scaling and 4K monitor had nothing to do with it.

Its the bloom and glare calculation that takes time... If i turn it off then lightmixer is 90% faster responding.
So then the problem would be the cpu speed... does bloom use one core only or its multi threaded?

thanks

Hi,
I would like to know what affects the speed of response in the corona editor.. (Switching on and off light passes in the light mixer , on/off bloom glare) etc
is is it a combination of things or mainly cpu speed?
Im asking this because on my laptop I can switch passes on and off almost instantly, but at work not.. Comparing the same 5k cxr at home and work, at work I will wait a up to 6 seconds for lightmixer to update when unchecking just 1pass, at home is almost instantly.
* at work I have one 4k monitor...  Ive been told at work that the slow response of corona editor is because here i have a 4k monitor and that also there are other company softwares running at the same time. But I believe is the slower clock xeon.
p.s working in photoshop i find it slower on the work computer too...So really I find my laptop faster on everything (except rendering speeds of course, as at work i have 48 threads. )
I need to explain it at our office that my workstation really doesn't perform that well and why. So I can get them to get different specs of computers when getting the next set.

So at home i Have a laptop with:
- I7 7700k at 4.20 GHz base
- nvidia gtx1070
 -Intel 600p Series 1TB PCIe M.2 SSD
- 64 DDR4 2400MHZ

At work
- Dual xeon gold 5118 2.3GHz base frequency
- Quadro RTX 5000
- 64 ram
- samsung-pm981-ssd 500gb

Thanks!
