Photoshop 22.0.1: Lasso and Content Aware brush tools very slow
Running Photoshop 22.0.1 on a 2019 Mac Pro (macOS 10.15.7 Catalina) with plenty of RAM, scratch disk space, etc.
Some Photoshop tools are very slow.
For example, Lasso Tool used to draw small space to add to current selection takes approx 5 seconds to add selection. First selection goes okay, but additional selections lag badly.
Same results with brush tool in Content Aware Fill preview when attempting to brush to add or delete content source pixels.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

I have found the answer to this problem.
I have Tony Kuyper's luminance mask action panels installed on my Mac computers.
I just received an email from Tony today with some troubleshooting instructions that included the following for Mac computers:
"...The second Mac problem concerns sluggish performance of some tools, like the Brush and Quick Selection tools, when TK7 modules are open. Again, I've not been able to reproduce this, but have four reports of it. The solution that worked in all these cases is to simply turn off the selection indicator. To do that:
1) Click the "TK" icon on each module.
2) Choose "Off" in the Selection Indicator drop-down menu...."
This solution cleared up the sluggish tool problem.

Have you tried restoring your preferences using this manual method:

If that doesn't help, you can quit Photoshop and move your preferences back to the original location.

I'm not able to reproduce any lag - my file is 16bit 3460 x 5200. How big are your files? Are you seeing lag with all files? Would it be possible to screen recording of your process?
It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

Couple of things to try:
1) any reason you have your Image cache levels set at 6? Try setting this to a lower number, say 4, and restart PS and see if the problem persists
2) Try uninstalling/disabling 3rd party plug-ins and panels
