Smart Object Workflow Too Slow With High-Bit Depth Files

Smart objects are fine   but  sometimes saving  complex image in 32 or 16 bit ppix , A height map for example . with lots of pixels   just to update smart objects  takes forever .   it's especially annoying when  you  need an immediate  feedback from filters applied on a smart objects .   The whole system is non-destructive  but  slow and not real time .    

 

A huge speed up would be if we could use RAW format which saves  huge files almost instantly . But then  it takes manual update   of smart objects and RAW size/channels  popups  .    PLease Adobe look into it and make it quick and seamless please.    Perhaps with  text side files that a smart object could reed necessary info from.
