Hi Larry,
Indeed, I didn't see your post when I responded. I then had major issues finding the download, even after purchasing, hence the additional link in case it helps someone.
Cheers,
Rob

More than you might think - the following is from a NYT piece on the Meltdown flaw in many Intel and other CPUs (mind you, there's no evidence of this flaw yet being exploited in the wild):
"To take advantage of Meltdown, hackers could rent space on a cloud service, just like any other business customer. Once they were on the service, the flaw would allow them to grab information like passwords from other customers.
That is a major threat to the way cloud-computing systems operate. Cloud services often share machines among many customers — and it is uncommon for, say, a single server to be dedicated to a single customer. Though security tools and protocols are intended to separate customers’ data, the recently discovered chip flaws would allow bad actors to circumvent these protections."

A bit off topic, but I use CS6 at home and CC at work (because it's paid for by the company).
Photoshop CS6 loads and is ready to go in 4 seconds.
Photoshop CC loads in 30 seconds and won't load in the background so I have to sit watching it load.
CS6 'new' menu opens instantly.
CC 'new' menu loads in about 6 seconds to show me some childish templates I didn't want or need. It's faster for me to type "1920x1080" than to wait for a menu to load and click a template.
I've seen zero improvements with CC, only slowing down. The new features they add are gimmicks and useless for most actual work. I would never get the subscription version at home, not a chance. I'll want to be using these programs for decades to come, I ain't paying £50 per month for 30 odd years.
Having said that, Illustrator CC is a bit improved actually. More intuitive guides system. But Photoshop is an unwieldy mess.
Rant over, sorry

LR Classic CC is at least twice as fact using OS X 12.12.6. More importantly this is the first time I can conduct long rendering sessions with out having to quit and reopen LR (desktop or CC) to speed things up.

Fact.
On my computer x64 LR4.4 loads fast and works fast. Version 6 of LR was just not usable on same computer.
