lagging and very slow pasting smart object

Hi @epic_focus5429

Thanks so much for reaching out! As Ben mentioned, slowness in Photoshop can be caused by a variety of factors, and having more details about your system and setup would really help us understand what might be going on. In addition to the information Ben requested, could you also share the following:

• Go to Help > System Info in Photoshop, copy the details into Notepad, and attach it here.
• Did the issue start after a recent Photoshop update or system change?
• Is the slowness happening with all files or just a particular one (or with certain types of content/objects)?

A few things you can also check on your end:

• Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for Photoshop.

• Review and adjust your Photoshop performance preferences 

• If you're using a gaming mouse (like the Logitech G700S) with custom drivers, try setting the polling rate to 125 Hz in the device driver settings.

• If the issue continues, you can try the steps listed here to optimize Photoshop performance.

Let us know if this works or if you need any further assistance—we're here to help!

Regards,

Srishti
