Question

Is it just me or is Photoshop 25.7 slower than ever before?

I wonder some times if Adobe are sitting on different computers than the rest of the planet. Have this update been tested? Do you try the new features on high res images 5000+ pixels?
For me I'm experiences lags like never before. In particular:

-Free transform has a sluggish delay, particularly if the object is a smart object. 

-Moving a layer is slow, probably because of the new auto highlight layer feature. 

-transforming a layer with a rotate or anything, takes time, even showing a progress bar for the simplest transform procedures. 

 

Something must have been added to this update that makes everything a lot slower. 

I'm sitting on a 7980x Threadripper with 5ghz 32 core CPU, 128 gb of fast ram and yet its moving in syrup.

Im having major issues with the new update. Its very very slow, and its not even using much RAM/CPU

Yes, it works fine for a while, then zoom becomes sluggish.  It feels like the the ram is overloaded. Had to restart PS so many times.

Not seeing it here, even on large images. I have Canon 5DIV and 5DSr cameras which produce 30 and 50MP RAWs so I do have experience with those.

Yeah I've been having the same exact issue. It's been so bad that I've had to go back to version 25.5 since the transform tool is basically unusable for me.

I'm working on a 8000px image currently, I think the slowdowns becomes more apparent when you are working on large images, since it requires more from the CPU. I turned off the new "show layer bounds" features, all of them, and it's all ready a lot better. But then I wonder why these features are being added, if they are that CPU heavy.

@donbarrum I'm not seeing the issues you're describing with Photoshop version 25.7 on my system, everything runs smoothly as expected, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
