M1 Mac mini weird lag on start of liquify

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there's anyone else having this issue,

 

M1 Mac mini with macOS Big Sur v11.2.3.

Photoshop v22.3 (natively. no rosetta option)

 

when I open up an image in liquify and twirl around pen or mouse

(I am eager to make changes)

there's about 5 seconds of lag

where the cursor goes slow-mo on the path I just went through.

    My mac has an intel process and I still have this issue. My photoshop is licensed and up to date 😕😕 I've had this issue for several versions despite updates. And this is happening on TWO of my macs - both use intel processers (one runs an updated CatalinaOS and the other has the most updated SurOS). Very frustrating...

       seems like this is happening to very, very few people.

       

      Everytime Adobe release new version, I go and look for this specific issue on the release note then disappointed, fire up Adobe Creative Cloud and install new version hoping it was some behind curtain voodoo coding magic that fixed the issue and later gets disappointed that Photoshop still gives me hickups with liquify.

       

      This post didn't get any response from the Adobe engineer here and I've contacted Adobe Korea about this over the phone and asked them to make a report so that this issue can move up the chain of command.

       

      Every minute I get disappointed by Adobe but then what can I do? I've gotten so used to Adobe's interface and interpretation of photos I can't really switch to other apps(i.e. Affinity Photo, Capture One)

        Oh, and I've also tried resetting the preferences and re-installing the app with v22.3.0

         

        but so far, the only solution at this point for me is to revert back to previous version, 22.2.0

         

        which is disappointing but,

        I guess it's going to be a while for me to fully experience M1 support. Just yet.

        just an update,

         

        weirdly, the mouse lag isn't present

        if I enter liquify with "Face Tool" "Hand Tool" and "Zoom Tool"

        as my first choice of tool.

        (i.e. quit liquify with any of the said three tools and re-enter liquify)

         

        Every other tools are lagging.
