Slow Masking: 3-5 Seconds per operation

I am experiencing incredibly slow performance from Lightroom Classic.  Every masking task takes 305 seconds, moving from image to image takes 2 seconds.  Sometimes I have to wait for all the masking edits to finish.  Up to 20 seconds. This is the worse version of Lightroom Classic I have ever used.

I am sure that's pat of it. But this version is so dramatically inefficient.  I mean it's 5-7 seconds for every task now and frequent beachballing. Your solution suggests we all spend a small fortune on latest computer equipment to accommodate Adobe's failure to keep their software at any degree of efficiency. I'm not buying it and have already demanded a credit (which they have given me) on the next month's subscription until they solve this dilemma.
