Grid kills my GPU

[MaloryArcher]

I don't know if this is an issue with the most recent update (as I just updated) but  turning on View>Grid absolutely sucks all my GPU & uses a lot of power and I can barely pan or zoom into a document. As soon as I disable it, I can pan & zoom like normal again.

In photoshop I'm viewing 1 layer (background layer), res is 1920x1080 @ 72 ppi, 8bit color. I have two scratch disks set up

1) has 90gb free and 2) has 3354 gb free

Idle my GPU is sitting at 0% usage. When I pan with grid on it jumps to 64% usage and Photoshop chokes.

I don't think this should be happening. 🙂
