eraser tool issue

Question

I'm on a 4060 with 16gig vram. I have 180 gig free space on my sytem drive, and far more than that on the drive where photoshop is installed.  I have the eraser set to 29px for this report.  in the non beta version of photoshop, when i use the eraser tool to edit with, it moves rapidly when i drag it and quickly removes the area I'm working on. but in this beta version (latest beta level as of the writing of this post) it drags. it has the same effect as when you enlarge a brush or any other tool like the smudge tool, and swipe it across the image. you can see the effect very slowly move across the image as the system you are on chokes and has a hard time processing - usually becasue you are out of memory or other system resources. The other tools, smudge, brush, etc, all function at a normal speed when set to the same size as i have the eraser set to

Just to make sure this not due to weird settings, reset the Eraser tool.

This does not affect brush settings, so make sure you have a fully hard preset, and turn off everything except Smoothing.

If this is a large image (in pixels) then make sure Spacing is set to a sensible size. The default is 25%, but I like to bring that down to 10% or less.

If you still have lag after this, then we'll look further.
