Mission Control is laggy when Photoshop is Open. This is especially true when it is the "active window" but it is still present even with it isn't the active window. This is actually true with Indesign and Illustrator as well. Here is a video comparing the lag when Photoshop/Illustrator/Indesign is open versus when it is not.  I'm using the most recent version of Photoshop (v. 25) but It happened in the previous version as well which is why I updated because I hoped it would fix it.

@Ryadhiprast have you contacted Apple since they develop Mission Control - not Adobe?

I feel you. I mostly work with illustrator and its seriously annoying how it keeps crashing 2-3 times a day.

I'm feeling like I'm working on my 2012 mac mini.

But now in my work schedule, I am facing other slowdowns. Photoshop has a lot of lag when resizing Smart Objects. I'm having the feeling that everything is heavier. It's a shame, last week I noticed that everything was lighter, I was even surprised how much faster InDesign was opening.

Your lag is nothing compared to mine, just sayin'.

I also decided to post my video to illustrate the problem. It's horrible to work like this. I've already tested all the programs I have, only Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign that cause this lag.

I upgraded my Mac today to Sonoma and I'm having the same problem. I had the same experience as you, it only affects when Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign are open. Lightroom, Premiere, are normal. Apparently the solution won't be quick.

Mission control is also a huge part of my workflow and since I updated to Sonoma I have a constant headache. The animation lag is seriously annoying, you can't drag & drop images from spotlight any longer. 

 

I think the only solution for us that are working graphically / similar is to downgrade for now, until apple has resolved all the issues. You can read my thread where I'm ranting about my issues on the Apple discussion board

 

Reminder to self: never install a beta version again.
