Photoshop: Unacceptable performance
I'm using an iMac that less than a couple of years ago was the top-of-the-line model (4K display, 4GHz processor, 32GB RAM). After the last Photoshop update, I can no longer use some tools effectively. This is especially troublesome when using brushes. After a couple of seconds of brushing, the brush disappears even though its effects still get applied, then a couple of seconds later everything freezes with the spinning rainbow cursor.
The only applications running in parallel are Photoshop and Lightroom (Classic).
Adobe, please reconsider your priorities. I'm sure most of your users would consider such things as improvements to content-aware algorithm as much less important than actually getting their work done.
Lightroom has reached the too-sluggish-to-work-effectively level a couple of versions ago.

I do this 5-10 times a day, with only the 2 apps open, just to get through my work. Waiting for 2019 for new iMac with Gen 8 processors, 64 GB RAM, and “significantly improved display specifications”.
Not Adobe’s fault, just what happens over time to software.

I would not mind at all that an Lightroom CC Classic interim release does not contain any additional features if they just would do something about the performance of the programme.

Are you running Mojave? If you are would you please try this workaround and let me know if it helps?
After applying the 20.0.1 update, you will need to do the following for macOS 10.14.1:
Run the following command from the Terminal (to go directly Terminal, press command + space bar, start typing "terminal" and hit return):
Then you have to enable Photoshop in System Preferences > Security > Accessibility
Thanks,
Hannah
