    I'm having the same problem.  High end PC / 32gb RAM / 4GB ram Nvidia Video Card.

     

    Fiddling with Legacy compositing (on / off, doesn't matter) doesn't change the EXTREME amount of lag.

     

    I ended up turning off GPU performance in the settings, and it helps a bit, but the zooming causes screen tearing and is just generally unpleasant.

     

    Is there any way I can bill Adobe for the extra time it's taking me to finish my work?  I certainly can't charge my client extra.

      yep, zooming in and out is also very clunky and slow, I really don't understand how they can just push updates out that are this broken. I agree I'd like to send them a bill for the extra time it's taking me. I feel like I'm using a 10 year old computer with crappy hardware!

      Make sure the problem you are having get reported to Adobe. They may want to look at your setup.

        So turn the off CMD+' the problem I believe has been reported to Adobe.  Check on their Feedback site if this problems has not been reported please report it.  I have seem others report Grid cause performance problems in this user forum. Adobe site photoshop_family 

         

        First make sure you do not have Use Legacy Compositing Checked in your Photoshop Preferences performance section there is Problem in that feature it no longer work correctly has performance issues.
