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

same proble here. It takes ages to transform. 

After 7 versions and 8 months (april), Adobe still hasn't managed to fix the bug that makes work tables with text layers extremely slow to move.

I'm currently using two versions 25,7 , the last one that worked well and the most recent one that makes me cry a little.

I'm having the same kind of issues described on the replies here since I updated to 25.7.

- Generally slower for everything than previous versions, no matter the size of the files I'm using.

- Lag when simply using the brush tool every few minutes, it freezes for a few seconds and then it works again.

- For Liquify Filter I have to close the panel and ppen it again several times because it gets insanelly slow and uncontrolable.

- Sometimes when zooming in or out (regular zoom) it doesn't show a section of the image. I have to save the file, close and re-open to be able to continue working.

- I tested the CPU and RAM while performing some actions (open, save, liquify, painting...) and its fine, Photoshop doesn't use that much really, but still I experiment all the described above.

This is obviously an isse with the app. Adobe must take it seriously, its affecting tons of users.

I'll be following this thread. I. hope there is a solution soon.

Yeah, I'm def facing the same issues. I thought it was my PC (i7) but everything else works just fine. Did you find a solution? 

Yep the auto highlight, rollover on layers is laggy and I don't need it. Is it possible to turn it off?

I've had problems since 25.5, so am sitting on 25.3.1 which has no issues.  Mostly for me it was problems when zooming in and out of an image while a selected area is active.  The image gets all chopped up like I'm in the matrix or something.  Zero problems on 25.3.1 working on PSD files that can be over 800MB (Fuji GFX with multiple layers)

This version is realy weird. I have 70% CPU (ryzen 3700x) utilization just zooming in photo.

Do not worry, you should be able to do what you did at the same speed or better with newer Photoshop, that has always been the case, especially after the patches come out after major update. When you update there are many reasons this can happen, and to solve we need to know your OS version, and if you have any OS or AI  plugins. Your OOBE or media cache or prefs might be corrupt, I posted those many times on these forums, but please provide your OS version if you need that, so my post is not really long.

Restart your computer and check your Adobe Creative Cloud app has no error or background installs going on. Try Adobes suggestions

Yes, i've bugged this with Adobe about 2 months ago, but they don't appear willing to believe me. The issue is not only Ps, but that the CC Library Sync starts running at full CPU too. 

It is definately slower.!
Like me and others mention, transform struggle more in particular. and the progress bar when doing operations last longer. Like if you have a smart object on a large res image, just transform and place requires you to wait while watching a progress bar. 
I had a image 7000px wide with around 100 layers, in the latest photoshop it simply crashed every time I started scrub zoom, photoshop quit, without even giving a error message or crash report. It happened consistently. I reverted to the previous version - boom! smooth as butter and no problems zooming. So there's definately diminishing performance. 

For those that don't notice this, you probably haven't worked with a large enough image. when the image reaches as certain size/complexity photoshop now struggles - but before that I do not notice anything different either.
