PS 2022 - Terribly slow

I can run fluid sims in blender faster than I can make a text box in photoshop. One of the slowest programs on my computer is photoshop. I wish I was allowed to use my CS2 on here. It was a better program back then. 

UPDATE:

Just updated Photoshop and Camera Raw to the latest versions and my God! FINALLY!
Photoshop is as perky as I'd like and expect but raw files are almost instantaneously revealing their icon previews. And I've got tons!

Not just that. My computer's sped up as well. Don't know if it's a fluke related to the time of day I'm on here or if Adobe's actually been slowing me down all this time. Not that my PC was slow to begin with but now it's super perky as well. 

FINALLY!

Original Post:

Adobe's been a thorn in my side for years now. 

And no matter what improvements I make with my system, everything else benefits except for Photoshop. It just barely gets better.

Watched one fella's vid review of the RTX 4090 mentioning how he saw null improvements w/ Photoshop. 

Myself, had the 3090 for a couple weeks and I did see a tiny improvement but that's it. 

Right now I've the 3070ti waiting to upgrade and I'm not betting on any major differences when I do finally settle on a better GPU.

Having upgraded to the Ryzen 5950x and 128 gigs of Ram made no differences either. And I've an eye on my resource use almost constantly. 

Photoshop 2022 on Windows launch speeds for me are extremely slow. Now of course, slow is relative, but on my PC system, with a fast NVMe, 64 GB of RAM, an RTX 3080 and an i9 9900k, it takes at least 14 seconds to launch. On the other hand, on my M1 Macbook Pro, Photoshop 2022 launches in about 3 seconds.

The problem on the PC has gotten so bad I assumed I had a hardware or OS problem on my PC. I replaced the C drive with a new NVMe. I reinstalled the OS and started with a clean install of Photoshop. None of that made any difference on launch time, and now I’m frustrated every time I have to start the application. I have tried all the recommended optimizations, nothing is improving the situation, are there any known issues that are being worked?

Do you possible have a iMac 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015?

Trust me you're not alone. At first, I felt desperate because my machine is not good enough. The issue is the software, not the hardware. This guy paints our troubles in a true and comical way. 

Sorry for the trouble. But does not help to send this angry messages. We are volunteers that trying to help!

Extreme lag survey.

how many of you Experiencing these lag issues are using a PC versus a Mac?

I am using a Mac

I have the same problem, I work with 500 meg files on a Mac. Are you working on a Mac?  I am thinking there is some conflict with the Mac because PC people don't seem to have a lagging issue.

I had been using a 6 y/o computer with an ancient i7 processor, 24 gb of RAM & yada, yada yada. It was so slow that I could literally go pour myself a cup of coffee or visit the bathrroom while I waited for files to load or process. I finally broke down and bought an i9, 64 gb RAM, SSD, 3070 nvidia, clean install, yada yada yada. The i9 is faster but nowhere near $3200 worth (cost of new PC). It takes PS 38 seconds to boot up, 8 seconds to load the preference menu & 1 minute 26 seconds to load a 9.7 MB RAW file. This is shameful and is deserving of a lawsuit although I am sure the terms of use state that Adobe's incompetence and neglect cannot be held against them.

ALLLLLLL of this. I'm currently looking for different software. Time is money, and I don't have the money to waste sitting and waiting for this program to glitch and pause. 

Why fix something that wasn't broken? I didn't have any problems before the update, and I wanted for nothing more. I can't justify paying a subscription for garbage. Adobe is gonna eat their hat on this one if they don't either revert or fix the glitches fast. 🙄🤬
