Photoshop CC 2014 is MUCH slower than Photoshop CC in a side-by-side comparison.

[gregjobes]

I can run them side-by-side on the same system and Photoshop CC 2014 is literally 2 times slower when selecting layers, hiding layers and moving vector points in pixel increments. 

Anyone having this issue?  I'm on a 2012 Macbook Pro, 8GB of RAM running Mavericks.

[eliz926]

to reinstall PS CC, just open up the Creative Cloud,

     Apps,

     Filters&Versions,

     Previous Versions,

     click on Install buttion

      choose version.

Just chiming in to join chorus of folks reporting CC 2014 performance issues on Mavericks.

As a side note:

I initially uninstalled CC in the process of troubleshooting the issue, but ultimately decided I needed to get it back since it worked well, at least.  I cannot believe how difficult it was to figure out how to reinstall it. "Filters & Versions" was impossible to spot.  I searched and searched for a way to get the previous version, both on the site and within the Creative Cloud app.  It was maddening.  Perhaps even more maddening than the original 2014 performance issue.

Sigh.

I am also experiencing super duper long lag and sometimes full on crashes with Adobe CC 2014. It takes forever to even allow me to try and open a document as after Adobe CC 2014 loads it just sits there not letting me choose / click on any of the menu items. Also another issue I'm having when it does work briefly is that Adobe CC automatically changes my fonts as I'm scrolling through the list of fonts rather than waiting for me to actually click on a font I want to use. This dramatically slows me down.

I'm running Windows 8.1 professional 64bit

Dell studio XPS i7 processor 2.7Ghz

24GB Ram with 96% allocated in Photoshop

8MB Cache, 36 History Steps,

3 Scratch disks with plenty of room

Intel 530 - 260GB Solid State Drive for Operating System,  Programs & scratch disk

3TB Toshiba 7200rpm 64mb cache for storage and scratch disk

3TB Seagate External connected via usb 3.0 & used as a Scratch disk

2TB Seagate External

2Tb Seagate External

and CS6 and CC were both running extremely smooth before installing the new update for CC 2014

now both CC and CS6 are running slower and CC is almost at a standstill.

I do have a little over 5600 fonts loaded on my system which may cause a bit of a bottleneck when loading but it used to be once it loaded the fonts Photoshop would do fine after that.

I'm currently running a test on my fonts as I noticed one time a bad font set was causing a ton of my problems before in Photoshop CS6.

[eliz926]

wondering what your graphics processor is

[Noel Carboni]

Dj emir, what do you mean by "8MB Cache"?

-Noel

[jbm007]

disable font preview in PS.

reduce you fonts in half or more.

get a "font manager".

[cyberwasp]

I have a lot of time on my hands and would like to help find this bug you are talking about. I have run all of the test files you have posted and still haven't come across and delays. in fact, CC and CC 2014 seem to take the same exact time.

I'll include my system specs and PS specs below. If you'd like me to try something, ask away as most of my time is spent on PS just fooling around or retouching when a job comes in.
The only thing I see different in my setup than most others posted here is a lot more memory than I have

HP pc

core I7 6 core 3.2ghz

500gb SSD system drive {PS cc & 2014 installed, same settings)

1.5 tb hdd

12g ram

amd 7750 hd video card 2 gb

600w power supply

From my perspective, it absolutely boils down to some sort of change Abode did to the Mercury Engine. 

My 2012 Macbook Pro has bad slowdowns in Photoshop CC 2014 while selecting layers, but no problems in Photoshop CC ... so I'm using Photoshop CC until Adobe figures this out.  BUT, on my 2010 MacPro (an older system), both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 work flawlessly as expected.  Both systems are Macs ... both are running Nvidia cards.

I really hope there will be an update for this! It all really slows me down in my work.

Not to mention the torture of waiting for everything.

I am having massive slow down issues, enough to not use CC 2014 until they are corrected.

Specs:

Mavericks

Mac Pro Late 2013

6 core

64GB ram, photoshop has 70% ram allocation

Documents with 100s and 1000s of layers are impossible to work with as it lags and beachballs when turning layers on and off, but in CC the same documents run smoothly. I am using CC until this issue is fixed. Shouldn't this have been caught by QA?

[creativejaminc]

I've also been experiencing severe performance issues with Photoshop CC 2014. After reading this thread, I increased my Cache levels to 4, restarted Photoshop and voilá - vastly improved performance for everything, particularly the GUI. Hope this helps someone else.  Running MacBook Pro Retina with 16GB RAM.

[Brad S.]

Cache levels are set to 4 by default. I don't know why you would have anything other than 4 unless you previously manually adjusted it.

[creativejaminc]

If you select the Tall & Thin performance preset, the cache level setting gets set to 2.

[craigreidel]

Examples of the speeds differences:

Dropbox - photoshopCC2014.mov

Dropbox - photoshopCC.mov

[gregjobes]

YES .... I didn't even think about posting a movie .. but that is EXACTLY what I was experiencing on my Macbook Pro .... exactly.  THANKS for posting the movies ... hopefully Adobe will see them  

And, like I said, I'm not experiencing that on my 2010 MacPro at all, just the NEWER 2012 Macbook Pro.

[BobZ30]

Does it not seem that the slowness problem is a Mac problem?  I run Windows and have no problem.  Almost all of those who are reporting slowdown are Mac users. Could it be an Apple OS problem not an Adobe problem?

[craigreidel]

How is it an Apple OS problem when CC runs fine?

[BobZ30]

The problem is not with CC but with CC 2014.  If you look back through the thread, Mac users appear to be the ones experiencing the slowdown. 

[craigreidel]

What I'm saying is that on the same Mac OS machine, CC runs fine and 2014 is slow. So how can it be an OS issue?

[BobZ30]

CC2014 is a separate app, not an upgrade of CC.  Something has apparently changed between the two that has affected certain users and they appear to be Mac users. Just trying to help those who are seeking an answer. 

[Brad S.]

You might want to reread the thread. There are as many, if not more, Windows users reporting problems here than Mac users. I am one of them. Many others have reported similar problems and have relayed their system specs.

[GFXmonkey]

I'm having the slowdown problem with Photoshop CC 2014 on layouts with many layers.  I'm on a Wacom Cintiq Companion running Windows 8.1pro, so the problem doesn't seem to be just Mac-based.  I have noticed some lag with the brush tool on my more powerful desktop system that I didn't see with Photoshop CC.

Very frustrating.

[creativejaminc]

Changing the cache setting to 4 has helped a lot for most files, but I too still experience a considerable slowdown with files with lots of layers and/or layer comps. I also seem to have more of a slowdown with legacy files than ones I've created from scratch in Photoshop CC 2014.
