Remove Tool now takes ages to complete

[Porlus]

What has changed with the operation of the Remove tool?

Usually the removal of a small skin blemish was almost instantaneous, now it takes 33.42 seconds to remove the same type of thing on a portrait.

Why aren't you using clone stamp or healing tools for such minor edits? The remove tool is for "bigger ticket" items.

Becasue for things liek flyaways it's WAYYY better.  Now it takes FOREVER every single time you use it.  MASSIVE DOWNGRADE!!!!!!

That's not a small skin blemish as the OP wrote.

What does it even matter???  The fact is the removal tool is not working properly.  Last night while editing headshots it crashed my entire computer four times.  Like literally shut the whole computer down.  That is a major issue.  It used to be instant no matter what I used it for now it freezes the first couple times and then if you keep trying it just crashes the computer.  Why would you even defend that???

It matters if one is removing a simple minor skin blemish, there are other options available, which pre-date the remove tool.

I'm not defending any suggested slowness. I was being pragmatic. Perhaps because I'm used to legacy tools for such minor work.

I do not see 30+ seconds to remove a minor skin blemish, so obviously YMMV.
