Forget using a laptop for serious processing, RAM'd to the max or not. It will always struggle because the mechanical restrictions of packing power into a small space will throttle it down.
Use a desktop with gaming specs and good cooling.
I have an i7 media server, Lenovo m92 package which is just basically a laptop in a tin box, small and discrete for the lounge. Does a wonderful job but my i7 desktop in the office, same specs basically but more memory is quite comfortable processing big avi's or large RAW files.
I support a mix of about 800 laptops and desktops at work. The desktops always win out for speed even if they are older specs.
