10x slower render on 25.4 and 25.5 than 25.3 or Beta (EDITED)

EDITED text
After update to 25.4 I have real trouble with rendering simple composition in my project. What was done in seconds, with new version takes tens of minutes.. 
In the composition are layers with different blend modes, all revealed by animated mask. 
Cache cleared, restart AE, restart of computer, updates.. all done..
The slowdown is really extreme. One frame lasts about minute or more. There are few layers with color burn mode, which takes ages to render ATM..
I can post the project.

AE25.4 @ Windows 10, 16 core AMD and nVidia 12GB, 128GB RAM. GPU acceleration enabled..

Hi,

Thanks for the message. Your issue is quite strange. If you would not mind, upload the project and let me know where I can pick that up. Feel free to DM me the URL. I hope the team might be able to solve your issue once they take a look at your project. Sorry for the frustration.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Just small update:
The bug is not related to using blend modes. If I tried to swith it to normal, nothing changed. The bug is still with us in 25.5 - so we still need to use 25.3 or Beta. Render times of few projects are just unacceptable.
The difference in render time between 24, 25 (before 25.4), 25 beta versus 25.4 and 25.5 is more than ten times slower in latest two official releases!!

LATEST

it seems that latest two releases have trouble with handling large psd documents (8K). But other AE versions handle it really good. The difference is exponential, more than significant and literary unacceptable..So we have to use more than one AE versions for different projects..
Please @Kevin-Monahan have you any information about some progress in this case? I sent you also Dm
