Since updating to 7.5, the local adjustments have substantially increased in performance.
Both CPU and GPU now show higher use than before*. My system: Windows 10, i7-9700k, RTX3070, 32GB RAM. Files are 32MP CR3.
Would be interested in how it runs for @Kyosato (with your Threadripper and RTX4090).

*CPU all cores peak and GPU up to around 50% when making adjustments and results showing instantly (milliseconds delay).
It works with multiple masks including automasks touched up with the eraser… duplicated, inverted… so far I have not been able to break it with adjustments that don’t make sense from an editing perspective.
I did have to do a clean re-install, as just doing the update like I had previously, resulted in some weird behaviour – Masks could not be hidden on unedited images that had no LA applied before. It did work on images that had local adjustments applied previously. Now the option to show/hide the masks, appears as soon as an adjustment has been made after creating a mask.
Although I had not encountered the issue with any of my photos, images shared by other users that had problems with highlights no longer show these problems for me.
I am sorry for not replying, I did not connect here in a long time.
Yes there was a slight improvement along the upgrade cycle, but still, it was taking several seconds to preview masked local adjustment + retouched zones on my files.
It was frustrating because yes you are right, Threadripper 3970x + RTX4090+128Gb ram, but I also upgraded my working disk for editing / raw development of all my pictures after a shoot. I use a raid-0 of two NVMe 4tb pci-e Gen4 sticks. I transfer all my memory cards on this disk after a shooting session (could be raw picture, video rushes,…), I do the culling/editing/selection and then I work on the raw files in DPL, and then both the raws, the dop and the JPG/Tiff are transfered to my NAS.
With the very high speed of this raid-0 working volume, I expected nothing less than instant loading and high responsiveness…and DPL7 still required several seconds…
The worse thing was to just display the pictures in the strip.
I undock the strip to put it on my second screen and I put the strip nearly full screen on this second display. Displaying the preview images from medium format files took literally forever (several minutes to display 3-4 lines of image in the strip). THe loading was much quicker for R5 files though.
In fact the big improvement is today. I’ve just upgraded to DPL8. Strip loads nearly instantly (at last), even with GFX100 II files, and the overall responsiveness has greatly improved.
Now I see the soft using more of the CPU previously untapped power (previously it was 5-15%, now it can go up to 50-60% of CPU load depending what I do).
I know that they looked at this thread in the forum. The work on DPL8 is great in that regard.
