I used Denoise on the file you sent (full size) and it only took 50 seconds

How much RAM do you have?

More RAM is always needed.

Not sure that’s why the time for doing the denoise operation would be due to RAM unless she only has like 4GB. I would think 8GB or more

The GIMP image does look sharper. Speaking of noise. Lightroom has a new AI noise reduction to is like freaking magic. One button push and not only is noise reduced significantly, but detail is actually improved. Not sure if Mitts has the latest LR, but if she does, she needs to check it out:

Remarkable innovations in post capabilities. It both rankles my photojournalist's sensibilities and thrills my artistic side.

Her current machine is an off-the-shelf one, adding more RAM may be an answer but it may be a better solution to put together a newer machine to spec.
