Compound Blur broken in Pr 26.0.1

I’ve just tried to apply the ex-FilmImpact video effect Compound blur on a stock footage and I get insanely slow performance with it in Premiere 26.0.1. So I went to Pr 25.6.4 and checked it there and there the effect works in real time.

Steps to reproduce:

The playback won’t work at all or your footage will be played at 1-2 fps.

Here’s a demo:

    Tested it like a dozen times in 26.0.2 and could not reproduce it. So the issue might have been fixed.

    Hi ​@AndrewTheGreat, 

    I wasn’t able to reproduce this.  I used your clip in 26.0.1 and had no issues playing it back.  I’m curious where most of your effects are. You seem to be missing a lot.  Did you delete them/ move them?
