Poor Lightroom performance on the Fuji files seems to have become an urban 
myth.  :-) 

With Sharpness raised to 55 or 60 on the LR slider in the latest version of 
the app, I can see no difference between LR processed RAW files from my X 
Pro-1 and in-camera JPGs at 100% magnification, even on dense foliage.
 
I now shoot RAW exclusively and have built that sharpness setting into my 
workflow.
