Liquify Tool is so sluggish after update

Is anyone else having an issue with the Liquify tool being several seconds behind the mouse movement after the update?  It's so slow it literally feels like you're watching someone else control the cursor. 

Mac OS Sonoma v.14

Photoshop version 25

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 
Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

 

What are the image’s pixel dimensions and but depth? (Just to rule out whether it might just be an exceptionally large image.) 

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
