Overall the program is much better than previous versions concerning lag, as they have been addressing memory concerns. The same size at 600 ppi the brush is lag-free till about 100 pixels in size, and fill has much more lag.

Slight lag during fill, but the brush is lag-free. When working on tabloid sized artwork (11'x17' at 300 ppi) it does have Turning off Smoothing in the Preferences (Painting tab), or adjusting Smoothing to 50% or less in the Edit Brush options, makes the program much more responsive - and lag-free in many situations. Program Speed - The program seems to lag, but looking in the preferences shows that by default the brush tool has Smoothing on, and most brushes use 100% smoothing too.
