Hopefully the developers will come up with an answer.

question:
What size the jpegs ?
Are you opening / exporting the jpegs from a local disk or external storage or network / cloud storage ?

Thank you, I have already posted my problem there, too.

BTW your questions showed up only when I hit reply, in your original post I can't see them.

The jpgs I open are about 5500x3500 pixels and 4.5 MB, and the ones I exported are somewhat smaller, 2500x2000 and a little over 1 MB. They come from my second internal harddisk (a regular one) and are exported to my local Dropbox folder on C: which is an SSD. Opening the same jpgs with any other program takes less than a second, and saving it, too, e.g. with Windows Paint 3D.
