Select Subject considerable slower in PS 2026 compared to 2025

In Photoshop 2026 the Select Subject is considerable slower  that in Photoshop 2025.

Previously the selection was almost instant. I have a Macbook Pro both M1 Pro and M4 Pro, in both on Photoshop 2026 the Select Subject is considerable slower that in Photoshop 2025, even on the fastest M4 Pro it takes 3 to 5 seconds to load the selection.

I use this tool almost in all of my images, I’m a professional retoucher working for a big retail company, I retouch around 250 to 300 images a day, that’s up to 25min a day of waiting for the tool to load the selection.. That’s a lot.

I’ve tried use the Cloud option on settings, but it is the same.

Why were these changes implemented? Is there any intention on getting it as it was before?

For now I have to downgrade to Photoshop 2025 as the 2026 is useless to me.


Thanks.
