i read through some benchmarks and noticed that a 7700k is only 29% faster than a 2500k in single-core performance.
In addition, my 2500k can OC up to 4.8ghz with my custom cooler. Does it not make sense to upgrade based on LR alone then?
the image-to-image loading and editing in Develop (even with Smart Previews) is killing me.

In my opinion, no, it's really not worth upgrading (yet). If you haven't gotten an SSD yet, start there.
Also check if GPU acceleration is on, if it is, try turning it off. Even with my 980 Ti GPU acceleration actually slowed LR down.
