ArcGIS Pro is SLOW, really SLOW. That's a fact and it means it's not a case by case issue. It's a general issue; every user has noticed and experienced how slow Pro is. At this point, ArcMap remains the number one Esri's products. I believed that Pro was supposed to run next to ArcMap and ArcCatalog on the same machine! At least, that was what we were told. If so, why would 8G works fine for ArcMap and not for Pro? Far from being technical, let me flatly say that ArcGIS Pro thinks too much before executing any type of geoprocessing. It is frustrating. You want to turn a work over to your boss ASAP, ArcMap is the way to go, sadly. However, don't get me wrong; I like ArcGIS Pro concept. I use ArcGIS Pro frequently, I like using it. It would have been a game changer had Esri not rushed its release. It is an unfinished software. The base architecture needs some works not patches. Honestly, ArcGIS Pro is a user-friendly software once you familiarize with it; and it has great potentialities as well. Things you can easily do that are quite daunting in ArcMap: things like editing, 2D to 3D and vice-versa, data sharing, ArcGIS online connection, Tasks, Link Views, and much more. I would like to finish by saying that what Esri needs to do at this junction is take a step back, re-work the whole ArcGIS Pro project and come up with a more robust and efficient replacement for ArcMap.
