Bad performance in ArcGIS Pro

Hi,

I'm using ArcGIS Pro in the newest version on a Dell Precision 3571 Laptop with Intel i7 12700H CPU, 64GB RAM and Nvidia T600 graphics. 

I think the technical specs of my device are not so bad but the performance of ArcGIS Pro is not good at all. In my project there are about 20 layers, all in the same gdb with the same coordinate system. I'm switching between two or three background maps (OpenStreetMap layer included in Pro and other WMS services). I have quite a few text fields in the map and have three or four layouts open.

Even simple tasks like changing the color of a polygon take several seconds. Also other stuff like field calculations in the attribute table or selecting objects by attribut take longer than I think they should. Moving a text field also takes some time.

In the past I've used ArcMap on much older hardware but the performance for similar tasks was much, much faster.

Am I using the wrong hardware? What can I do to improve the performance? 

 

Regards

Robert

All data is stored on the local drive.

Hey @red , ArcGIS Pro is known to be a very slow, bulky piece of software.

If you can do your analyses outside of ESRI ecosystem (not in ArcGIS Pro GUI), I would recommend that.

I try to only use ESRI for cartographic products. Even then this can be slow.

G'day @uasdev . Ha! Sounds precisely like my workflow. I'm continually frustrated by Pro with the simplest of simple tasks. Like @red I run a good system and use local data. I really like ESRI for carto composition, but boy oh boy does it have a tendency to chug...
